This morning the Project Uganda team visited the Trinity Methodist Church in Duffield to tell the gathered congregation why we are involved with the project and the aims and objectives.
After the morning service the team sold cakes, marmalade and soft toys to the congregation raising a staggering £172 towards the project!

Project Uganda would like to say a very special thank you to the Rev Stuart Radford and his congregation for their warm welcome and generosity today.
We would also like to thank the team members for baking and helping out at the church today, these were Pauline Latham, Simon Hollingsworth, James Raynor, Shelley Reynolds, Oli Watson, Gill Reynolds, Sarah Watson and last but not least Jane Walker.
If you have any fund raising ideas for Project Uganda or would like to help in any way please let us know.
What is Project Uganda ?
Schools in Uganda face huge challenges due to their lack of facilities. This makes it far harder for the children to learn and for the teachers to teach to a reasonable standard. Their schools are often only half built, without textbooks or any kind of teaching aids beyond a blackboard to help stimulate the children's minds.
Project Uganda has been set up to raise money that will be used to provide much needed equipment and facilities at the schools we visit. This in turn will help give these Ugandan children a chance of a better education and ultimately a better life.
