It borders both Sudan and the DRC -- two of Africa's greatest hotspots -- and is in the middle of its own civil war. But that's where our guest will be leading two groups of college students and student ambassadors this summer.
In just a few days, Josh Goldstein, leaves the country for Uganda, where he'll be for the next 8 months. Josh is the Associate Director of Global Youth Partnership for Africa, an organization based in both in Washington DC and Kampala Uganda. In this episode, we talk about life in Uganda, cross-cultural awareness, and the ways in which GYP is using technology to cultivate youth as global citizens and partners in development and advocacy for Africa.
