"Pack your bags ?" at Sainsbury's Kingsway

On Saturday the 4th April the Project Uganda team and a large following of friends helped the busy shoppers in Sainsbury's pack their bags. People were very generous and grateful for the help they were given.

We would like to thank the management of Sainsbury's Kingsway for allowing us to "Bag Pack" for their customers and to get closer to our target by raising a staggering £1187.

Pauline Latham, team leader of Project Uganda, was delighted at the number of Year 10 and Year 12 friends who gave their support and whole the team wish to thank Eliot Fallows, Jon Vickers, Mark Raynor, Nick Sowter, Ruby Richardson, Toby Cumming, Aaron Stewart, Emily Short, Eliza Dawson, James Holt, Sarah Holmes and Phoebe Simpson.

Finally, thank you to all the shoppers at Sainsbury's for their generosity in making the day a great success; Project Uganda and the Ugandan schools are very grateful to you.

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.
