THE ORPHANS WHO INSPIRED IT ALL
Our project work and school are in the village of Kalagala and the surrounding four villages in Masaka, Uganda. In these villages, there are more than 800 orphans, whom we first met in 2013.
During our first visit in 2013, the children performed a song for the founders of OMACAN. These children, along with the street kids of the Nyendo slum, have inspired us. The children often say to us, “Thank you for loving us, thank you so, so much,” and to them, we reply, “Weebale nnyo nkwagala nnyo, nnyo, nnyo. Neeyan zizza nnyo,” which means similar in Lugandan.

OMACAN VOLUNTOUR TRIPS
The need is great, the joy even greater.
The sunrises and sunsets in Uganda are almost always spectacular and filled with sounds of the largest collection of bird species of any country on Earth.
