How do I communicate with my family? IFRE staff members? Is there internet?
Volunteers are requested to bring their unlocked mobile phones. Upon arrival in Uganda , participants can purchase and change SIM cards as there are 2-3 electronic shops in the Entebbe International Airport . The SIM card is placed into almost any internationally capable cell phone and can provide service in Uganda . Participants are encouraged to confirm that they are bringing the appropriate telephone. This is the perfect way to stay in touch with your family and IFRE's office. Internet cafés are widely available in most areas of Jinja and Entebbe.
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
