Champlain College hosts service learning trips for the same reason it organizes study abroad opportunities: to offer life-changing, cross cultural experiences for students.

This May, 11 Champlain College students will embark on the Uganda Service Trip and volunteer at the Malayaka House. As a safe haven for orphaned, neglected, and abandoned Ugandan children, the Malayaka House was established by Vermont native Robert Fleming in 2005. With the help of Fleming and five “Aunties” (caretakers), more than 40 children—ranging in ages from infant to early twenties—call the Malayaka House home. See the whole article here.
