Give Talent

Do you have a skill to share?

God has blessed each of us with many gifts. Many of us take for granted the skills that we learned from others and use every day; but in Uganda, where the median age of the population is 15.7 years, opportunities to transfer knowledge from older to younger generations are more limited. Through short or longer-term mission trips, you can share your knowledge and skills with our brothers and sisters in Uganda. We guarantee you will learn even more than you teach and return home richer for it.
