Project Uganda is now up and running and we are all very enthusiastic to get the project started again . This year six year ten pupils have been recently selected by their peers to travel to Uganda next summer in 2011. The three new pupils from Ecclesbourne School are Saskia Hook, Roy Middup, Robin Spurr and teacher Rachel Tordoff . The three new students from Woodlands School are Matt Powell, Dani Clamp and Phil Campbell. Each student was selected by their peers after presenting a speech on why they wanted to be chosen.
Over this period of time we will be doing various fund-raising events in order to raise as much money as possible. The money raised will go directly to Mirembe and Kiringo Secondary Schools in Uganda. Previously we raised enough money to buy school equipment such as pens, paper, textbooks, science equipment and science chemicals; all of which are vital in order for the school to function properly. We also bought enough building materials to build an examination hall for Mirembe School and three classrooms, a store room and a staff room for Kiringo School. In addition to this we were able to fund a sustainable farming project to aid the surrounding communities.
We cannot do all of this on our own and the Project Uganda team and the students in Mirembe and Chiringo School will be very grateful if you are able to donate some money to the project or participate in any fund-raising events in the future. We need your help!
