Amazing Uganda trip

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!
