Typical Duration of Program: 1-2 weeks
Dates: Year-round

Description: Soccer is the most popular sport in Uganda. For impoverished children the sport
serves as welcome escape from the struggles of daily life. For a volunteer with an interest in
soccer and a desire to help the children of Ghana, soccer can be an important tool for
encouraging and teaching children. This World Endeavors program offers its participants a truly
unique and remarkable way to experience Ghana. By living and working side-by-side with local
residents volunteers have an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the community
while experiencing a total cultural immersion that cannot be matched by conventional travel
programs.

Highlights: Uganda is a landlocked country in east Africa with regions of dense rainforest, dry
savannah and grassy plains. Uganda is known for its thriving tribal culture, rich exports of coffee
and cotton, and beautiful terrain. Despite its amazing landscape and rich culture, the nation still
relies heavily on international aid to provide basic needs to some of its poorer citizens.
CarthageABC soccer volunteer programs are in areas where help is needed the most especially
after the rebel insurgencies and rebel activities for most of the 22yrs in the districts of
gulu,moyo,lira and west nile region.

Upon arrival in Uganda, volunteers will be met at the airport and taken to their
accommodations. They will receive an orientation that will familiarize them with the local area,
the Ugandan cultural heritage, and their programs. Afterwards, volunteers travel to their project
site where they will be introduced to their host family and their project.

Once the placement begins, participants will receive an additional mini-orientation at the project
site that focuses on project opportunities and responsibilities. English is the national language,
but many languages are spoken in Uganda. While not everyone is fluent in English, it is not
necessary that you have any knowledge of any language other than English prior to your
