Rules

Life and work in rural Uganda moves at a very different pace to Western countries.

Flexibility, patience and cultural respect are essential.

Things may take longer than expected. Schedules can change.

Resources are limited and conditions are basic.

You are expected to be adaptable, respectful and open-minded.

Local customs, leadership structures and communication styles should always be respected.

Volunteers are guests in the community - humility and cultural sensitivity are essential.
