Right here, but not right now

This is the place to be, if you want to know more about AIM 2009 - Aid In Meeting, and what we're up to in Uganda this summer.

AIM is a cultural exchange/aid work project carried out by Lions Club Bergen Student, the only student Lions Club in
Norway. (But with great help from Lions Norway and LCIF.)

This summer, sixteen students from
Norway and one from Denmark will travel to Uganda in East Africa, to follow up various aid projects we are currently involved in through our club. Our biggest aid project is a piggery project - we are establishing a piggery in Bushenyi, a small town south west in Uganda, to benefit the families of over one hundred deaf children. Other projects involve orphanages, schools and youth centers.


We depart for
Uganda around June 20th; we'll stay approximately one month and we’ll be divided in four groups - Kampala, the outskirts of Entebbe, Bushenyi and Arua.

Please stay tuned for our daily adventures, work and experiences!
