Current Goal

Hi, my name is Akolo Travel Bug. I want to travel all the way from
Europe to reach the Asian continent and them head to Uganda, in
Africa. I am doing this to raise awareness to the fight against poverty
and in particular, to a small poor orphanage in rural Uganda, Africa.

My final destination will be the orphanage in Buwaiswa, where I mean to
join my sister Bugs again, each traveling the world to a different country.
Along the way I hope to inspire people into make positive, helpful
gestures for someone else, in need.

Please, help me through. Thank you.

  • Don't put the Travel Bug in caches that aren't well hidden.
  • Don't keep the Travel Bug for more than a week, if you can't put
    rapidly in another cache, leave it.
  • Try to put the Travel Bug near Tourist sites, Airports or Travel
    Bug Hotels.
  • Be sympathetic to the cause and be careful not to lose the
    Travel Bug.

About This Item

Akolo Travel Bug

Breaking The Poverty Cycle

The goal of these travel bugs is to gain awareness into the global fight
that is being fought worldwide against extreme poverty. They were
sent by members of one of the many organizations that are doing
their small part in these huge task of our times - Slice-Of-Heaven.
In this case, they support directly the struggle to gain sustainability
that is being endured by one small orphanage in rural Uganda.

To raise conscience into their daily difficulties, these three sibling
travel bugs will leave Portugal, in the Easternmost part of Europe, and
start a journey that hopefully will take them to visit Asia, America and
Australia and meet again at the small orphanage in Uganda.

We named them after three of the girls that died in 2008, during a
night fire at the girls dormitory: Rosemary Mirembe, Akolo Mwoka
and Nabirye Winnie.

  • Rosemary Travel Bug will travel to reach the American continent and
    them head to Uganda, in Africa.
  • Akolo Travel Bug will travel to reach the Asian continent and them
    head to Uganda, in Africa.
  • Nabirye Travel Bug will travel to reach the Australian continent and
    them head to Uganda, in Africa.

Their destination is 0º 53’ 08.12’’ N and 33º 07’ 46.14’’ E. Along the
way, they hope to touch many people’s life.

The orphanage as seen in google earth:

Please, help them through this challenging trip to meet their task,
each, and make some helpful gesture to someone else along the
way, too.

You may help some poor guy to get a decent meal, promote a
humanitarian campaign amongst your friends or join some charity
event. Register here what you did, and set an example and inspiration
to the next person. You can add a picture or a video.

Thank you,
Slice-Of-Heaven
