Programa detallado
We expect our volunteers to be patient, enthusiastic, and passionate about teaching children and youth digital skills. You should be ready to prepare lessons, guide learners in basic computer use, typing, online safety, and creative digital projects, and adapt to working in a community setting with limited resources.
We also value volunteers who are open-minded, respectful, and eager to support the project’s growth and continuity
In return, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive and friendly team, treated with respect and care, and given the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Volunteers will gain hands-on experience in teaching and digital literacy, connect deeply with the Bugonga community, and experience authentic Ugandan life while contributing to the education and growth of local children.

Reglas
Volunteers are expected to work in line with Garden Library Uganda’s objectives of promoting education, a strong reading culture, and digital skills. Any activity representing our organization should be done in conformity with official guidance. We encourage volunteers to respect our values, local culture, and community life. While here, you’ll experience the simplicity of real African living — using local means, sharing local food, and adapting to our way of life. Please come with an open mind and heart, not expecting a Western lifestyle in Uganda.
