What advice would you tell your pre-travel self?

UDHR 1948, every one is free and equals for rights and services, we are born with same blood and we are to enjoy all rights. In respect to human rights, everyone is free to interact with one another and is supported with resources as required. 

Using this treaty, the SDG goals mission will be supported through networking and research, and respect for one another. We will advise a number of issues and request them to help us in various activities against poverty and suffering. We will advise them to copy our business or invest with us for their businesses in Uganda. We shall advise them to get emotional sex partners from Uganda. We shall advise them to keep in touch with us in a brotherly sharing of knowledge and freedom of association.

Describe a typical day at work.

Advocacy and education facilitation services program. Children are protected by us from any dangerous harm and deterioration of their rights and freedom. If harassed, tortured, or denied access to services, they are protected, such as basic education, shelter, advocacy, home needs, and the right to play or assemble; it's a violation of children's rights.

Why do you do what you do?

To strengthen socioeconomic transformation for the integration of poor, reckless, disadvantaged, and abandoned children, giving them hope, opportunities, and vision. Opening their future for others breaks the cycle of crime in the community. 

We need to integrate integrity for career opportunities, professional development in children, dignity, and career values for socioeconomic transformation, where vision, hope, and opportunities are achieved in their destination of growing children to cope with the culture of European, American, and Australian on new technology, science, and arts.

What is your favorite part of your job?

  • Advocacy and education 
  • Sheltering the children 
  • Dignity, respect, and moral uprightness 
  • Travel to New adventures 
  • Christianity faith 
  • Social development action

How do you use your education and international background in your current role?

We freely explore directly with our children, and it will not be trustworthy to the mission.

What challenges do you often face and how do you overcome them?

We mainly have consistent financial resources abroad to address administrative, capital, and program cost challenges. Our programs are no longer operating due to financial challenges. We no longer have a funding source to operate our organization. The solution now is to contact you in seek for international volunteers who can collaborate with us in pussing us a go ahead. 

This is important work we are doing to relieve the poverty and suffering of our children in Uganda, where they come from poor backgrounds. As usual, no funds, no survival, no basic needs, no facilities, no facilitation. Please, let's be helped. Thank you 

What are some current projects you are working on?

  • Basic child development care
  • Basic childhood development and education in preschool study
  • Basic advocacy for schooling
  • Basic livelihood support for youth job creation 
  • Basic networking for resources, as we have contacted you 

Why should someone choose Voiceless Mind Uganda over competitors?

We are trustworthy, honest, accountable, responsible, good Managerial due diligence, compassionate for our beneficiaries, quick responders, good development planners, organized, and vision-focused on people's opportunities, hope, and vision, showing them what's needed and helping them where it's needed. 

We are good at fighting for freedom, advocacy, quick response, risk management, and good monitoring and evaluation; livelihood support from job creation to job seeking as a competitor to poverty and suffering. We provide opportunities for children's education and survival through food provision and scholastic materials like books, shoes, food, and uniforms, as well as free education and facilitation services.

Our organization needs to be chosen because it is in poor condition, with poor communities where people need international volunteers to cooperate with them. There is a lot of culture we need to share with international volunteers, and there is a lot of business we can share with international volunteers 

What is Voiceless Mind Uganda's mission and how do you continue to work toward it?

To be a fostering care and relief organization for people's poverty and suffering, solutions for their survival needs and basic rights, education, shelter, advocacy, livelihood, Christmas, Christianity, and development in our poor community for the reckless poor, disadvantaged children from poor backgrounds. 

We continue this work to meet their needs and share them globally, as we are doing here, and we reach out to you for your support. We will continue building support for our child beneficiaries by connecting them with opportunities, such as finding compassionate donors worldwide to help meet their needs for schooling, survival, food, sugar, water, and electricity.

What makes Voiceless Mind Uganda special?

Basic education facilation services equipping vulnerable poor children with learning

Basic education facilation services equipping vulnerable poor children with learning

It's a children's caring charity with honest accountability, responsible development strategies, and a highly organized, competent staff with a compassionate attitude; program professionals, time managers, safeguarding, risk management, financial management, monitoring, and evaluation 

What hopes do you have for the future for Voiceless Mind Uganda?

Through funding from abroad, like through your links to international volunteers, we hope our children will get access to their needs; the organization and administration will have its mission fulfilled, and own assets like office building, program vehicles, and travel abroad for adventure 

Are there any developments with Voiceless Mind Uganda that you would like to share with us?

Proposed purchase of land and construction of a building project for Voiceless Mind Uganda administrative program, construction of building facilities for a school.

What makes Voiceless Mind Uganda easy to market to potential participants?

It has contacts, such as its location in Uganda, an email, and social media platforms; it has available targeted child beneficiaries; and it has a mission and vision.

What do you hope participants take away from your programs?

We will cooperate with them by asking them what they need to take away from our program. This is easy to discuss with them, as we are available. They will take away a number of things like the way we believe in African culture such ancestors our God the Creator our museam our education culture our living survival our business our accomplishments our accomodations our infrastructure like roads we have a road built in the mountain Elgon using poles of about 2 kilometers from one community to another in space it's a bridge people in the world visiting it to see the technology we used. 

They are free to take any needs they wish, learn ways we work cooperate our family units the way we sleep feed school government treats us how the environment management is done like our country is good there is no war earthquake flooding heavy winds many River our country is called the pearl of Africa a land locked country with the source of river Nile great lake Victoria 

Why is it important for people to travel abroad and experience new cultures?

It's an adventure to explore new things on the ecosystem of the country and people how the world is built how people behave what they do such as in Uganda in our community in mbale city where bamasaba bagisu as a tribe we do male circumcision ceremonies after every two years there is a unique dance circumcision male skin cover in the public there are numbers of activities we do in the place public ally it's always done from August to December in old years such as 2026 2028 2030.

Effectiveness is better than believing online; seeing live activity through travel is better than believing in images/photos, so it's important to see live rather than being told stories. It's important to touch the required beneficiaries live 

How do you help support participants?

Guiding, security, teaching, moving, directing, touring, safeguarding, accommodations, taking care of them in Uganda when they are with us.

If you could participate on one of Voiceless Mind Uganda's programs, where would you go and what would you do?

We will do our program in our own poor communities we serve, interacting with our international volunteers and beneficiaries in good spirits. If possibilities are available, they can sponsor us for an international adventure as well. We shall do what's required, such as physical, emotional, psychological, and other activities needed in any field, as required. We are open-minded people.

What questions do participants often ask you, and how do you typically respond?

It varies; they need to learn and trust to know more about us.

Such as our children's activities, they may ask us: where are the parents of these children, how do they survive, how do we support them for their survival and basic needs, education, shelter, job opportunities, hope, and vision. We will tell them exactly what it is and other things from their questions because they may also need to know, either relevant or not, as long as we are with them or online.

Why do you think learning a new language is important?

It's very important because it sounds linguistic, like the sound of a bird. It is good to learn it to exchange languages and understand what others need in their own language.

What does meaningful travel mean to you?

Compassion feeding the hunger children with porradge in village during famine

Adventures exchange resources cultures learning many aspects how people behave what they need promote government resources tours among many activities will be supported live rather than believing on online.

Meaningful travel is reaching live to the place where activities are explored seeing the ecosystem with your eye spending your time on site and receiving what you need on your own this is important to carry what you need live from the place observation of what is in the museum observation of government work observation of wild animals and bird which are not in your home country getting sex partners of your choice if interested tasting the sweet fruit food water visiting the sites in need 

What advice do you have for individuals thinking about going abroad?

We advise them to travel because there is learning, more adventure, and people, opportunities, hope, and vision. There is an exchange of knowledge, emotional, psychological, and more 

What issues do you see in the world of international education that don't line up with your values and expectations for mutually beneficial & educational relationships between providers/programs and the communities in which they are located within?

New curriculum, new technology, science and arts, new physical planners, new education systems, new learning, more education forms, new international records, like it's in a book of records.

What does ethical global engagement mean to you?

Exchange of networking and understanding of each other's needs and service learning more about people's behavior and development.

What hopes do you have for the future of international education?

Supporting us to cope with their international education curriculum, receiving their books and resources, and supporting us to develop our education facilities, such as school building funding 

What qualities in program & host community relations are important to you? (And Voiceless Mind Uganda?)

Personally me cornelius who is answering here, my organization gives me a social working networking experience in helping me and others with knowledge and support them on their responses and resources in need becoming like a broker or a linker of people on both sides having a good supported successful families in Uganda building good collaboration with international volunteers and friendly business in harmony where people can interact with others in peace for their socioeconomic transformation in education fun financial support and emotional.
