“The project was amazing, especially the integration with the community, as we got to live, work and socialise with the locals and so fully experience the culture.”

"Think it only really dawned on me at the end how much of an impact this has had on me and how attached i became to the kids and aid child. Very sad to leave"

"An amazing experience. A completely different approach to life which has taught me and others how to appreciate and enjoy things at home. The people here live everyday like it their last and enjoy every moment no matter how little or hard they have it."

"I can't wait to return. Uganda is beautiful and it's true what they say, once you've been you leave a piece of yourself here and you have to come back!"

“Organising and teaching an afternoon class with P5, P6 & P7 with other members of the team on Aids and HIV was a highlight. A really rewarding afternoon where it felt like we were making a very positive contribution to the school.”
Rebecca Wraight, Uganda 2003
“I learnt so much about medical care in the 3rd world and how lucky we really are. I saw things that I may never see in my entire career in medicine. Before I went to Uganda I doubted whether medicine was really what I wanted to do, by the time I got back I knew there was nothing else I’d rather do. In fact I now know that once qualified I’d love to go back to Africa or another 3rd world country and work there for a bit.”

“As a student I needed to work during the summer to save money for the following year. A five week project in the middle of the summer was ideal.”
Rebecca Wraight, St.Andrew’s University
“It was a totally awe-inspiring, breath taking, gut wrenching, life changing (and lots of other words the same) holiday of a lifetime that I’d recommend to anybody and will never forget!”

'Its the only true way to get under the skin of the country'

"I have learned almost as much in my five weeks in Butiki as I do in a year of school - it has been such an education and an empowering experience to live so basically and to do work that means so much to its beneficiaries."
