Our Partners: Living Music Foundation

What to expect as an intern?

As an intern at the Living Music Foundation, you’ll have the opportunity to live with a local family. Your host family will treat you like family, which gives you a chance to really take a deep dive into the local culture. You’ll learn a lot about this country with so much to offer!

Another form of learning about and respecting the culture will show in general dressing styles. Ugandans typically dress conservatively – despite the hot weather! – and as an intern at the LMF, you will be expected to do the same. Take pride in the local culture!

In Mbarara, Uganda, you won’t ever get bored! Explore the area as you go hiking or by visiting game reserves to see some majestic animals like zebras, elephants, and many types of birds. Watch a band at parties and concerts in the area or perform yourself – with the band, or by singing and dancing with local youth groups! Of course, you can always explore the local culture as you visit cultural sites, hills and lakes, forests, et cetera. Plenty to see and do in Mbarara!
