Uganda Gap Year
Gap Year Volunteering in Uganda. Uganda does not feature on many African gap year travel itineraries. Like many African nations it has a troubled recent past, but luckily it appears the bad old days are behind them. Yet it remains a very poor country, and the help and revenue brought in by people who choose to spend part of their gap year in Uganda plays an important part in many volunteer projects across the country.
