Soft Power Education – Jinja, Uganda
Soft Power Education is working with communities in Uganda to improve quality of life through education. Their funding comes from overland groups, independent travellers and sponsors from around the world. Every single penny donated to Soft Power Education goes towards refurbishing and upgrading the schools involved in the programme; the running costs of the two pre-schools; running the Amagezi Education Centre; continuing the work in Murchison; buying building materials and paying for Ugandan labour and staff.
What is True Travellers Society?
True Travellers Society was developed out of frustration with the “volunteer in Asia, volunteer in Africa, volunteer in South or Central America, but first pay us lots of money” organizations (maybe that isn’t a direct quote, but it is pretty close).
The aim of our organization is to connect people to no or minimal fee meaningful travel and volunteer travel opportunities around the globe. We have created a central location where this information can be shared for free.
If you have any opportunities to share or are interested in finding a volunteer opportunity, please let us know.
Hope you find the site useful.
Safe and happy travels,
Andrew Wahba
Founder True Travellers Society

Right to Play in Peru
I am currently volunteering with Right to Play in Peru. If you are not familiar with the organization, I encourage you to check them out Right to Play. In short the organizations uses sport and play as a tool for child development. They run some great programs with some schools here in Peru.
I was helping out in some rural villages up in the mountains (San Mateo and Llata).
Currently I am helping out in their country office in Lima.
