Musana Vocational Trip
Trip dates: September 18 – 29
Location: Iganga, Uganda
Trip leaders: Eric Johnson
Trip Details: This trip is designed for those who want to build relationships and see what happens when others are empowered to do things for themselves. It is an opportunity to travel to Uganda with a team to experience Musana’s model firsthand and see how Musana is empowering communities to thrive! Participants will visit Musana’s schools, hospitals, and economic development projects to learn, observe and encourage local change-makers. While there will be aspects of the trip when participants will bring their expertise to a cross-cultural setting, this is not a typical missions trip where participants roll up their sleeves to do the hard work for others. Your role is a learner, an ambassador and an encourager.
WHO: Those with skilled backgrounds in electrical, plumbing, welding, construction, mechanical professions, as well as skilled tailors, seamstresses, jewelry artisans, and hair stylists, all with the ability to instruct, are encouraged to apply. All participants should come with a curiosity to learn about who Musana is and how they partner with local communities, feel strongly about encouraging the role local community leaders play, have a willingness to be led by field staff, a heart to teach but also to learn, and have a passion to discover how a cross-cultural experience might impact their vocational practice at home. Above all else, participants should have a strong desire to exemplify Jesus in all they do.
