Osiibye otyano! I spent about 2 months in Uganda, volunteering with KARUDEO, in association with United Children's Fund, Inc.  Unfortunately, I had some major problems with these organizations (click here for more details), but overall, my experience living in rural Uganda was extraordinary.  I lived on a farm in a village near Masaka, and worked on a number of projects there, including teaching english at a World Vision-sponsored school, helping out with a nursery school class, teaching seminars with a women's co-op group, and participating in outreach programs with a local missionary hospital (most of which were not run by UCF/KARUDEO but by other excellent organizations).  The people I met there were incredible and the experiences I've had there are unforgettable.  I was even adopted into the "Grasshopper Clan" and given a grasshopper name: "Nakajubi", which means one who cuddles or embraces.  I also had a chance to do some sight-seeing around Uganda, including Lake Mburo NP, Lake Nabugabo Resort, the towns of Kampala, Masaka, Mbarara, Jinja and Entebbe, Bujagali Falls and the source of the Nile river, and the Entebbe Wildlife Centre.  Overall, it was a life-changing experience!
