HANDBOOK

African Promise Expeditions is excited to announce our 2023 Dare To Lead™ journey. This trip will be filled with personal development, mindfulness, cultural immersion, and adventure safari! In addition, you will participate in parts of Brené  Brown's Dare To Lead™ courage building program. Suzy Benson, certified Dare To Lead™ facilitator will lead you through experiential workshops on topics such as vulnerability, BRAVING, and Rising Strong.

Experience the trip of a lifetime as you visit Uganda, Africa. When you arrive at African Hospitality Institute you will be greeted by AHI staff.  They will be waiting with freshly squeezed passion fruit juice and a warm wash cloth to help you refresh after your long journey! Spend the first 8 days of your expedition immersed in the community of Nakasongola, a village in central Uganda. Bring out your inner child and play in the mud as you work with locals to "mud" a building or classroom. Other activities will include learning to make local food with AHI staff, milking a cow with a farmer, working in a kitchen cooking with students, and much more.  You will also have the opportunity to work with Cornerstone Leadership Academy, a high school for potential leaders doing experiential activities and forming lasting relationships. There will also be opportunities to learn about mindfulness and practice meditation if you would like! In the evening, you will participate in Dare To Lead™ workshops and discussions, learning to become a more courageous version of yourself. Finish the trip off with an incredible adventure to Murchison Falls National Park where you will go on safari and a Nile River boat cruise.   

​It is important to note: This trip is NOT about serving  Africans, but rather an experiential adventure that will expose you to Ugandan culture and community. Our engagement in service is in partnership with local communities. Part of your trip fee funds these projects. This experience is about building relationships with Ugandans, fellow group members, and most importantly connecting with yourself.  Suzy, a certified professional coach will lead the group in discussions about servant-leadership, compassion, empathy, and kindness.  This experience has the ability to be transformative in all areas of your life! We welcome those who are flexible, ready to learn and prepared with an open heart to learn and grow beyond measure!​
