Location: Lira, Uganda

Leader: Kari Hamilton

Cost: Estimated at $3800 - $4000 (final total varies depending on cost of flights)

Details: This trip is by invitation only*. Visiting Orphans is excited to partner with eXile international in 2012 to send teams to Northern Uganda. eXile international provides art and expressive trauma therapy to former child soldiers and war-affected children. This trip will be providing hope-focused art/expressive work with the children wounded by the LRA rebel group through activities focusing on peace, healing, and forgiveness. The work of eXile focuses on empowering the children by reminding them they have a future and a hope! This unique trip comes from a sustainability model and a portion of total trip costs will go directly to support the specific project the team will be working with on the ground. Please Note: Because space is limited on this team, there is a $250 fee to eXile to reserve your space. Once you've paid your reservation fee to eXile, please fill out the registration form below. Visiting Orphans will then send you a welcome email with all necessary forms and a payment schedule.
