At School in Uganda
Share on:
So when I was in Uganda last year – I met Sabina and decided to sponsor her through school – giving her the opportunity to be empolyable once qualified. Its been an interesting experience – as she is so far away. And easy to become quite detached – with the odd email and school report coming through from her guardian only. On her school report, English was her weakest subject – so I asked Arthur – her guardain to ask her to write to me. We could then get to know each other and her English Language skills would get better. I recently received the letter below, with pictures. My heart melted and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to make a difference in her life…
P.S. Still battling to get Arthur and Sabina to call me Melissa – and not Sponsor – its so formal…and their way of being respectful and polite

Does Africa inspire you, intrigue you or simply terrify you as an unknown destination? It is deserving of all those feelings- as is a magnificent continent that will transform your world when you journey here… Allow me to hold your hand through the process of booking your safari, and together with my 6 years of experience working in our lodges, traveling throughout Africa and arranging tailor made safaris we will create a trip worthy of many first-class hours of story telling and dreaming. This Blog is about the adventures I have had so far with &Beyond and in Africa- and hope that it will inspire you to create moments that make the days of routine and hard work worthwhile like no other holiday can do….
