With separate programming tracks for parents and teenagers during the day, this trip will open our eyes to Africa—its beauty, its challenges and our own responsibilities as Jewish global citizens.
Adults will meet AJWS’s extraordinary grassroots partners in Kampala and rural eastern Uganda, who are working tirelessly to combat HIV/AIDS, promote children’s rights and improve the quality of life for some of the most disadvantaged communities in the region.
Young people (ages 13 and older) will fuel their passion for grassroots change through hands-on volunteer service, painting, planting and building vital structures in local grassroots organizations. They will learn from hands-on experience what it takes for a community to overcome poverty, hunger and discrimination, from the ground up.
Everyone will come together for lively family dinners and a group day of service. Each day’s programming will include exploration of Jewish texts and values related to social justice.
