On December 12th 2008 I had to perform a speech to my year 10 group and convince them that I should be one of the two students from Woodlands School, Allestree to get the chance to be a part of the fantastic cause
Project Uganda.
When my name was called out to be told I had been chosen I was so excited and overwhelmed that I hugged James - the boy from my year who was also chosen to be part of Team Uganda - and I cried!! I am so grateful to my year group for letting me have this wonderful experience.
I know that going to Uganda will be such an eye opening occasion for me, one I will never forget. It is going to be such an amazing adventure for me to go on with such a lovely bunch of people. I know I take a lot of things for granted, I guess we all do but after this trip in July I'm sure I will be so much more grateful for the things I have and not worry about all the little things I worry about now.
I know when I go out to Uganda and see the contrast between my life and the lives of the children I meet it will affect me in quite a number of ways. When I'm out there I will probably go through so many different emotions - happiness, sadness etc. I really can't wait to meet the children we are going to help. I've been told that the children are so friendly and even though they don't have much they still keep smiles on their faces all day long.
Not only am I excited about going out to Uganda and helping so many wonderful people I am excited about fundraising. The fundraising that we do is going to help the children with such simple things as providing pens, pencils and text books but it will also help to provide bigger items such as new school facilities. I hope we can make a difference to their education a difference that could play a big part in their future.
When I go out to Uganda I know I am going to learn so much from the people out there and I hope they learn a little from me. I am really looking forward to seeing what a difference the money we raise can do.
Thank you for reading my blog and if it has made you think that you want to make a difference then hit the donation box at the bottom of the screen. Even if you can only afford to donate a small amount it will make a difference to a Ugandan child’s life.
Thank you, Becky Jepson x
