My African Adventure - Uganda 2015 & 2016
Michaela Miller '15, '16, '18
I spent one month in Uganda, Africa with a group of other college students, professors, and teachers, and the nonprofit FOYA Uganda. We work in the rural areas of the country in communities and schools. I went on the trip two years in a row. This video shows all aspects and sides of both trips.

Watch Cassidy's video to hear how this trip impacted her as an American student.
