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.
The first group of Karamoja regional hiking guides have successfully completed the hiking guiding training by Bergwandelen.com in collaboration with Karamoja Tourism Academy. It was an eyeopening experience for both the participants and the facilitators, hiking the two highest mountain ranges (Mt Kadam and Mt Moroto) in Karamojaland.
