Hi everyone,
So far its been an absolutely incredible experience, it has been both eye opening and inspiring. Uganda is a beautiful country and everyone has been very welcoming.
During my time here, I have been in the local community where we were shown how coffee is made traditionally by the local women. It was very interesting to see how they do everything from preparing the beans to roasting and grinding them by hand. It really made me appreciate how much work goes into something we use daily. I have also had a go at tea picking and got the opportunity to work in the fields with some of the local workers.
I have also been able to go into the local community to deliver all of the donated bras and sanitary products. These donations were greatly needed and very appreciated. It was great to see the impact of the donations.
I have spent some time at the One Love Project where I got to meet all of the wonderful children there. It was incredible to see how enthusiastic the children are about learning and how eager they are to absorb all information. Their standard of education is phenomenal and utterly impressive. I am very excited for the rest of my time at the school.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who donated, I was able to fill two large suitcases and take everything that was donated with me. Together with the other people on the trip we were able to donate 414kg worth of clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc.
Below is the donation link where money raised goes directly to the school. Every penny directly to benefit all the children in their care.
