Voluntary work in Karamoja Uganda – I checked a long existing bucket list item…. a trip to Uganda. What an experience this was! This truly is ‘the pearl of Africa’…
I did voluntary work in Karamoja, a remote region in Northeast Uganda with amazing authentic cultural experiences. The local tribes have a basic way of living, enriched with fascinating ceremonies.
I coached Kara-Tunga in team-effectiveness. Together we worked on the (ABN AMRO) feedback challenge program, thinking outside the box, values, convincing skills, sharing opinions and ideas, making action plans. And yes, we also had a lot of fun together!
The Kara-Tunga team made me feel at home every minute of my stay! A warm welcome with traditional clothing and dancing, unforgettable tours in Karamoja, a relaxed restaurant for nice conversations, reading a book or preparing for a next team session.
My creativity was challenged in facilitating team sessions outdoors without all the gear that we are so used to (laptop, powerpoint, beamers, meeting room, etc). Instead, I made paper flipovers (my once attended workshop ‘business drawing’ came in very handy now?) and was creative with the limited available materials. I loved every minute of it!
Thanks Theo Vos for adding Uganda as a very special memory in my passion to travel.
We’re glad to have met the globetrotters Rinus and Helga that are driving around the world since 2014! Yes it’s incredible, and they are incredible as well.
Watch another great video from our guests of Szívemben Született Afrika who travelled with us for one week in the Karamoja region. The first days were spent in Moroto at Kara-Tunga Safari Camp to experience the diverse cultures and landscapes of the region.
Unforgettable Tour of Karamoja Bike Event (Northeast Uganda) – It took a while, but here they are! Pictures of my unforgettable bike tour through Karamoja (north eastern Uganda). Or should we call it an adventure? Thank you everyone who called me a hero over the last few days? Last week I rode about 480 km’s …
Ever since I have travelled to Uganda I’ve visited many places already. But Karamoja is different, in a good way, from all the places I’ve been to. A region rich of beautiful nature, beautiful people and a lot of cattle and goats.
