International Relationships

Since 2004, USA students and moderators (many of whom are volunteers from CFA schools) have traveled for two weeks throughout Uganda, meeting our beneficiaries and experiencing life in a developing country. In 2009 CFA-Uganda welcomed its 8th delegation from Omaha, Nebraska.

These trips are often the encounter of a lifetime. Visitors see firsthand the positive aspects of Africa and its people: courage, faith, generosity, joy and a focus on relationships. They experience African dance, food and song and traverse the awe-inspiring landscape guided through national parks, visiting the source of the Nile, and hiking through the bush to the top of a waterfall.

And they encounter the sorrows of Africa, becoming eye witnesses to the struggles of its people: severe poverty; millions dying from HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis; lack of clean water; undependable power; cratered roads; poor health care; and thousands of refugees and internally displaced people.

Together we pray for Africa and her people, celebrate what CFA has accomplished, and sew seeds of possibility in a generation of youth who will envision and create the world "yet to be."
