APPLICATIONS CLOSED
Santa Cruz to Kasese Delegation Application Info
August 23 - Sept 6, 2015
Approved Delegates:
Thank you to all delegates and guests for your commitment to help establish relations between our two wonderful cities.
TRIP PURPOSE: Establish long-term cultural, educational, and economic exchange between Kasese, Uganda and Santa Cruz organizations.
Delegates should represent organizations who want to have long-term relations with their counterpart Kasese organizations (government, civic, educational, etc.)
Hosting of delegates is a big effort by our hosts, so we will choose carefully who will best represent Santa Cruz, so not be an undue burden on our hosts.
Host city provides housing (usually in homes) and food during the official delegation. Each delegate pays their own fair share of costs: airfare, some food expenses, incidentals and any costs outside of the official delegation visit.
Estimated expense per delegate $2,200+ plus any optional touring expenses
Planning Issues to be discussed -- health, safety, costs, roles, cultural relations, itinerary, service projects, optional touring after-delegation. National and local politics and culture.
Although this is our first Sister City trip to Africa, we have some excellent, wise and very experienced local people who have traveled extensively internationally and in Uganda, including travel medicine physician Dr. Arthur Dover, Firelight Foundation and Assist International to consult on all the above issues.
Our purpose is to build broad community support and relations between Kasese and Santa Cruz. In addition to delegates joining our trip, we also welcome other supporters to join our planning events. We currently have 40 supporters on our delegation planning email list and 282 on our Friends of Kasese email.
