I have been at UDHA for 4 weeks now and love it. I came doing a school internship and could not have been placed at a better environment for learning, growing, and developing a stronger understanding of the world. This organization has admirable ideals and I would love to see it grow. I wanted to be involved in community development and I have learned so much in terms of leadership, networking, planning and the African way of life! I think the volunteer website tells it best when it explains that UDHA is not a tourist experience but one where someone can really make a difference. I totally recommend UDHA not only to anyone studying or traveling abroad but to Ugandans too!

People of the surrounding community admire us. We are a new and upcoming NGO that is starting to become well known around town. The community is excited to see UDHA grow and is looking forward to using the new facilities very soon. Working as a volunteer has taught me many new and valuable talents, including:
- Making new friends and exchanging ideas with other people
- Learning new skills, such as proposal writing, office management and coordination, and public relations
- valuable job experience
- enhanced networking skills
As a Ugandan it is hard to get a job or experience because there are limited organizations such as UDHA that will allow for you to expand your skills and talents.
Because of this organization I have learned through networking, socializing, and especially with project proposal writing.
During the project proposal everybody is given a task and it is necessary work as a team to finalize the proposal.
