William Hague meets Project Uganda Students

Some of the Project Uganda students met the Rt Hon William Hague, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, at the Strutt Arms in Milford and were able to tell him about the Project Uganda trip.

He was so impressed by the students that he donated some money towards the trip and wished everyone a good time.

He said that it was good for students to experience a trip like this to see how other countries faced different problems from those faced by young people in this country.

Belper News was also there and their photographer took photos of the students with William so we are looking forward to reading about it in the next edition.

Belper based TBS Enterprise Mobility donate £1,000.00

Belper based company, TBS Enterprise Mobility, today handed over a cheque for £1,000.00 to Project Uganda.

Jon Poynton, Commercial Director said “Having spoken to the students about the project we were so impressed we decided to donate £1,000.00. This project is very special because ultimately there are two goals, the first being to completely renovate a secondary school in Uganda to ensure these students have a chance of a life without poverty and secondly the students at both schools will develop new communication skills through their fund raising activities and gain first-hand experience and understanding of a country in poverty, which I am sure will be a life changing event for them. It’s a pleasure to help such a worthy cause.”
