Amazing Uganda trip

by: Reece - United StatesProgram: Medical Internships and Volunteer Work in Uganda
10

I had such an incredible time on my trip to Uganda. We were able to do a homestay with a family, which made it much more immersive of an experience than had we been by ourselves in a "volunteer house." I was very grateful to have traveled with ELI Abroad, as it was affordable and accessible for us as students. Overall a very worthwhile trip that I will cherish forever!

Human rights - legal internship

My placement was great, i could not have asked for a better experience. I was able to help with court cases, attend mediations, and other events in the community with my site supervisor. I don't remember who my advisor at ELI was, but I found him to be very helpful. I got together a lot with some of the other interns who were also in Auckland. This is my second time going abroad with ELI, I did a trip 2 years ago. It's been awesome to see the world and new cultures!

Definitely an experience I won’t forget

My applications ran smoothly, everything was easily explained and I had no problems. Malissa always got back to me in a timely manner and was really helpful throughout the entire process. I was met at the airport, I found the greeter immediately, who was very nice, and accommodating. We received an hour long orientation. It was very helpful because we were given maps of the city and were told the lay of the land. I spent at least 40 hours/week at my placement. From day one they put me to ...

I wanted international public health experience. I had been working as a nurse for six years, including living in Germany the prior two years. So to combine my love for travel and health, I wanted a unique international public health experience and ELI had so many amazing programs to choose from.

For three years I had been thinking about doing a volunteer program, but I never actually understood everything. I thought this year was the moment to do it and here I am. I really like the idea of giving back to others what you can—teaching, spending time, and more than that being with kids is really what I like.

I did two volunteer programs in Spain and after a long time I wanted to participate in one abroad. Volunteering abroad seemed like an amazing experience to give back to others, and a great opportunity to learn many things. Two friends decided to go to Nepal this summer and asked me to go with them. After seeing the whole program and everything we were going to do there, I loved the idea and decided to come on this program.
