The Experience

Here is a space with much potential for you to employ your abilities, also if you're not formally educated. Teaching is much sought-after here. You can teach in your own way, and even influence the curriculum if you have a strong suit or a good idea. Say you like animals, baking, sports, music, or dancing. Those are examples of subjects that you could help teaching the children. If you're interested in other ways to help, check out our profile.

Volunteering at this school has honestly been one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. What makes it so special is Paul, the founder and heart behind it all. His dedication to his community is incredible. He's not just running a school; he's creating opportunities and hope for so many kids who deserve it. You can feel the impact of his work everywhere in the kids' laughter, in their excitement to learn, and in the sense of community he's built. I'm so grateful to have seen it firsthand. Paul is genuinely changing lives, one day at a time.

Energy, energy, so much energy! This is the first thing you think when you meet Paul. He's such a kind person — he will provide you with everything you need; you just have to ask. The experience at the school is great, and you will be surrounded by Paul's team and the kids (they are lovely). I highly recommend this experience, and if you can teach the kids something more, it will be very precious for them. 😉 Thank you, Paul, for having me — I wish you all the best!

My experience with the organization was great! Paul is doing an amazing work, and working alongside someone so passionate is deeply inspiring. The kids and community are great, and you can see that help and attention is really needed, which allows you to have a true impact. For those who want to get out of their comfort zones and do some practical work, I definitely recommend!!

Staying with Aisha has been a time of incredible peace. She has left behind a treasure trove of memories that we hold dear. The children still remember her fondly as "lovely Aisha." Her jolly, smiling face is a window into her deeply compassionate heart. She will never be forgotten.

I had an amazing time in Masaka Uganda! Paul and his family made me feel like home, and that I was a part of it. Made me see the reality of struggling, but not matter how hard is for the kids you will always will see them with a smile, and something we should all learn. Change my perspective. But had the greatest time

Wasswa Paul was so hospitable and i had the best time at the organization. Genuinely such a loving community. The children welcomed me with open arms and fully embraced me. They brighten my day and spending time with them has been such a pleasure. Definitely will be coming back to see them again as i am going to miss them so much.
