My name is Magda Woloszyn and I am currently volunteering as a Business Development Advisor for The Liberty Development Foundation (LIDEFO) in Kasese, Uganda. One of the NGO’s key projects is a beekeeping initiative in the Rwenzori mountains nearby Kasese, which I am working on. We have over 60 beekeepers (villagers) in the surrounding villages who take part in this project. Currently we are facing many challenges and are in desperate need of an apiary specialist to come over and help us train and develop this excellent project that provides so much hope to the individuals involved. We can provide accommodation all local costs (including food) for the specialist, however they would need to fund their own travel to Uganda. We would ideally like the specialist (YOU) to visit Kasese for 2 weeks or for as long as you can offer.

Please let me know if you are interested in this fantastic (but challenging) opportunity of a lifetime; and to find out more information about the program please visit http://www.lidefo.org.


Please contact me on magda_woloszyn@hotmail.com if this appeals to you or anyone you know.


THANK YOU
