The lens with which you view the world will be changed forever...

The Discovery trip to Kenya and Uganda is a service trip with an emphasis on creating awareness about poverty:

• You will meet with people in their community-based groups.
• You will talk to them about the effects of poverty.
• You will discuss ways to alleviate poverty.
• You will be a part of a variety of hands on projects, such as: working at a health camp, tutoring students, building homes, assisting in community organization and agricultural work.

The purpose of this trip is to learn, listen, live with and understand the people in the villages we will visit. The people in the communities we will travel to appreciate the generosity you show by taking time out of your lives to work and learn with them. We have traveled with teachers, nurses, social workers, students and many other professionals, with varying personal backgrounds. Your skills, whatever they are, will be helpful in the work we do. The three-week trip generally includes visits to three Give Us Wings sites in Kenya and there will be a break, for a two-day safari.

If you want to specialize your trip with a medical focus, we would like to hear from you, so we can plan an individualized trip specifically for you. When you return from your trip, we hope that you will continue to advocate for those you met through volunteer opportunities. You will be moved through your experiences in Africa – you will laugh and cry with the people.
