Fred Kasozi works for a small organization focused on creating livelihoods in his home country, Uganda. But in early 2013, he left that job to become a volunteer in a provincial district in Ngororero, Rwanda, to share his entrepreneurial skills with people with disabilities.
It was his first international volunteering experience.
Kasozi said most of the volunteers he meets in his own country are expats from rich nations like the United States or the United Kingdom, but not so much from low-income countries like his own.
