FUNDRAISING UPDATE
CURRENT: $775, GOAL: $6350

I asked the Program Director of Grassroots Uganda what she felt were the impacts made by volunteers, this is some of what she had to say...

"the absolute best legacy you leave behind is exposure to your culture, language, attitude, etc. you're also part of a very long term chain of GVN voluteers. you wouldn't make half the difference if you came on your own, spent a few months, then went back. we have a sustained presence in the community where africans can learn the truth about out culture and countries. you'll help to dispell the myths spread by media, such as american television programs. we are not all seriously rich, and we are able to work for our successes!"

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that at all.
