Alex Khela, Uganda

I spent 3 months on the music volunteer program in Uganda. I was the only volunteer at the time and the experience was so immersive. The staff here are warm, welcoming and enjoy having fun! I feel I have made friends for life. I’m going to miss living with my host family and learning how to cook local foods! To attend traditional Ugandan weddings was a wonderful experience. It was truly transformative working with such resilient and strong groups of marginalised people, and witnessing how music increased their self esteem and brought joy to their lives.
