Another thing the OP might have neglected to mention is that the lack of red tape definitely means you can just go out and do things as there really isn't much stopping you (good or bad.) The potential for actual good work is very real and apparent, but of course it's easy to abuse it and be corrupt or exploitative as well. I knew of a Canadian man who setup a boys-only orphanage in UG, and it was known that he was an abuser and would stop paying for their schooling when they got too old or out of favour. Thankfully he died, there was a commemoration stone which I pissed on one day at the orphanage. Disgusting.

OP, May I ask where your NGO is approximately located? I lived in Fort Portal for a few months last year.

Is this really a thing? Next time I fly Emirates (or another carrier, I'm a starving 20-something! [I love Emirates though]) should I go saunter over and hang out? Is this a A380/777 only thing or Emirates only thing?

When I flew SEA-DXB (the plane's maiden flight!) I didn't see anything of the sort on the 777-200LR? I love hanging out with service sector employees, I try to treat them as, you know, actual individuals since I know there are some that treat you folks as indentured servants.

This sounds awesome. My friend passed away at 26 from DVT from serious poker grinding at casinos, so I'm a little bit more proactive in moving around anyways.
