TRAVEL BLOG AND ITINERARY

I applied for a tour of Uganda and Rwanda through an organization (not religiously affiliated) that introduces travelers to the world via the lenses of human rights and conservation. With eight other individuals developing or brandishing wanderlust, I set off to experience this region through eco-tourism and volunteer work. The result was a sea change in self.

Hi! I loved reading your travel blog on Uganda and Rwanda. I was wondering if you would share the name of the organization you applied with for your volunteer tour? I've been looking for a similar type of volunteer trip. Thanks!
