I am a 5th year student in Ballymakenny College and I have been given this once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Nansana in Uganda for two weeks. This trip cannot be possible without the help of your donations!

I am extremely grateful that I have such and incredible opportunity at the age of just 16 years old. This is an opportunity I could not give up. I am travelling with a small group of students aged 16 and 17. I believe that we will all truly benefit from this experience as it will help us to appreciate everything we have and to never take our education, our opportunities, our lifestyles or our healthcare for granted. It will also really open our eyes to the effects climate change has on our planet. 

While in Uganda we will get to see the difficulties the local people face in regards to both climate change and poverty. We will also get to see the true strength and determination of the community to improve the lives of their children. 

While we are on this trip we will get the opportunity to get an insight into the local people’s lives when we visit people living in the community, experience their food, culture and more. 

During our time in Uganda we will get to visit local schools and also visit the Irish Embassy in Kampala to meet the Irish ambassador to discuss Irelands assistance to Uganda. 

All donations are extremely appreciated, thank you for your support.
