She explains that coming to a totally new country at such a young age made her anxious in the first days, but the welcoming and hearty people from ROM made it much easier for her to settle in Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince October 2021, I have been working in the Communication and Public Relations section where I have gained very important skills for my future career. I have always actively participated in every activity and I\u2019m so thankful for that! When I return to Germany, I will definitely enroll for a course in media studies. I also served in the Community Support department, where I mostly enjoyed activities aimed at improving the lives of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC).\u201d At ROM, I got that professional touch to serving the community. The staff are so friendly and committed to mentoring new comers that I now call them friends. At ROM, the volunteer year abroad fully nurtured my skills and will always be a part of the team.\u201d With this unforgettable experience in Uganda, I wish every student would get such an opportunity.\u201d She said.<\/p>\n<p>Antonia\u2019s account of professional growth is no different from that of many others who have gone through ROM, yet a lot more are still coming on board.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6243\" style=\"font-weight: inherit;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/js3-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/js3-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/js3.jpg 659w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>A new set of volunteers currently on board at Reach Out Mbuya Community Health Initiative.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reach Out Mbuya is a proud parent boasting about offering professional growth to people from Uganda and the world over.
