Our
short term mission trip is designed to connect you to where the need is. You
will be able to have a first hand experience in the rural setting.
"Volunteers have the opportunity to participate in teaching, medical,
construction, and community work. This program will give you a chance to
make an important contribution to Uganda and while doing so gain an in depth
experience of the country and its culture that will stay with you the rest
of your life." Director-Samuel
Sebuliba
The mission trip duration
ranges from 1 to 6 months depending on the schedule that fits the
missionary. The mission trip is designed to take you through the ministries
that His Saving Grace Outreach does with the children and community.
However, you also get to do sight seeing and visiting exciting places like
the Great River Nile, Bujagali Falls and take a Forest Walk through the
jungles of Africa.
Please contact us so we can
give you all the details you may need to make this trip possible. Your
travel arrangements, accommodation, in-land travel and feeding will be
explained to you. you might need to know what to carry along as well and
what to expect once you are here. This is an experience for a life time
especially for those that have never been to this part of the world.
Bujjagali falls
"I am looking forward to serving with you for 2 1/2 months. I am praying
that God might help me to be a good servant. PLEASE- all of you who have the
means, SUPPORT THIS CAUSE. Samuel, the humble servant, has given up his life
for these orphans! Can you not spare $25- $50 a month? That is probably
about how much you would pay for Cable TV!"

TIPS ON TRAVEL

Security and Travel: The borders
with Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda should be
given a wide berth, in particular, the north. Do not travel after dark,
check in with your embassy when you arrive, and keep a low profile while
being aware of your surroundings. Keeping an extra copy of your travel
documents is advised.

Local Culture:
Casual to conservative clothing is acceptable, depending on the region, with
heavier clothes for the higher altitudes and cooler nights, and lighter
clothes for the lower altitudes and days. Ask permission before
photographing people, and note that younger females will kneel to show
respect to elders, but that’s not expected from tourists.
Banking and Cash: Credit cards and traveler’s checks generally have
pretty wide acceptance, although it can depend on brand, and exchanging
money is easy, with choices between the banks and exchange bureaus.
Generally the banks have a special tourist exchange rate that’s better than
the posted rate, and they are open weekdays until 2pm. Avoid the black
market, as getting caught will cost you.
When To Visit: Travel during the rainy months is very difficult and
uncomfortable, so stick to the dry months, with December to February to most
popular choices. Christian and Muslim festivals are honored, and the
national Liberation Day, on January 26, is the holiday most visitors will be
able to catch.
Food: With meals based on rice or maize with sauces or beans, typical
dishes include meats like beef, mutton, goat or fish, with cooked and mashed
plantains and groundnut, or peanut, topping quite common, finishing with an
array of fruits or a local banana beer.
Phrases: Locals typically refer to light-skinned visitors as Mzungu.
Tipping: Tipping has not been standardized, but generally a 10% tip
for good service is acceptable.
