LAST MINUTE ADVENTURE! Come and Refurbish an orphanage & trek with Mountain Gorillas in February 2022! 12/16 spots gone
Well, it’s been a while since people have been boarding fights regularly huh? Wowzer. But the world is coming back, which means our non-profit Mudita Adventures is back too! Many of you know, we created Mudita Adventures to give back to travel, after travel gave so much to us. So, are you ready to join us in East Africa for the adventure of a lifetime?
We’ve donated over $250,000USD since we started a few years ago, building malaria clinics, kindergartens, even whole schools from Ethiopia to the Philippines. Where other companies have profit, we pump it back into the community. You get your hands dirty to help us finish the project, then we go on an adventure in the country. Cool, right?
And if you want more adventure? Come join me on my Mauritania Iron Ore train tour right after!
So, what are you doing in February/March 2022?!
I explain the whole trip in this blog post, but you can also see the official website for the official info here:
Help Us Help Our Ugandan Orphanage
This year we go to Uganda, where we are friends with an orphanage there. And they’re hurting. Zero governmental support, and solely funded by NGOs and generous people. We want to help them, and we hope you do too.
In cooperation with We Everyone’s Child Orphans (WECO) Uganda: Our partner community in NGO circulates around an orphanage about 2 hours from Kampala. Many years ago profoundly touched by the plight of orphans and the growing number of street children, our partner registered Community Based Organization operating in Masaka district committed to a lifelong journey to transform and uplift destitute children in slums. They soon expanded to running a children’s school WECO Junior school where children under their protection and care acquire free education and those in the surrounding communities access very cheap education. Since then, they have recruited professional powerless young mothers as teachers, caregivers, and jobless youths to join. The staff also supports the local market when they buy their produce for school meals.
Currently, their junior school has enrolled 83 students with only 3 rented temporary classrooms, and a staff of 6 teachers. With a growing need and limited space, the Mudita team has pledged the fund and labour to provide 3 new classrooms allowing more kids access to the amazing care and education they deserve. They soon expanded to running a children’s school WECO Junior school where children under their protection and care acquire free education and those in the surrounding communities access very cheap education. Since then, they have recruited professional powerless young mothers as teachers, caregivers and jobless youths to join.
We’re going to use our funds to help improve the centre, and we need your dirty work to help us!
Travel Around Uganda
After we finish giving back, it wouldn’t be a Mudita Adventure trip without a serious, hard-core adventure right! The trip runs from 27th February to 9th March, so the second half of the trip is jam packed with gorillas, safaris, white water rapids and road trips.
That leaves us with time to go on safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park, road trip the WHOLE WAY across Uganda until we reach the Impenetrable Forest. Here you have the option to do one of the best activities on our beautiful planet – walk with the Mountain Gorillas in the wild. The only place on earth you can do it, and all 100% ethical.

As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand
and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I've made
more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I
travel the world and live my dream. I talk about how I did it, and how you can do it too, in my COMPLETELY FREE
Ebook, all 20,000
words or so. Just finish the process by putting in your email below and I'll mail it right out to you immediately. No spam ever too, I promise!
