Why should you consider this Uganda Wildlife Education Tour with Volunteers 2 Uganda for
your next School Trip or Educational Visit?
Many students only learn about these Wild animals but have never met them, while even many teachers have never seen them even though they teach about them. Volunteers 2 Uganda grants you an opportunity to learn, meet them and understand the class room lessons in reality.
Therefore its great for schools to see the living animals in our Game parks in Uganda than the dry bones in some museums around the world.
It would also help many of them to learn how things are done in Africa, even with the limited resources compared to back home.
