Uganda Lodge

As well as international volunteers I am looking for help with admin for our project – here in my home office at Shepperton.  I would like to find an organised person with some telephone and computer skills and I am sure together we would be able to do so much more for the villagers around Ruhanga.

This could suit an early retired person, someone looking for a new interest between jobs, or perhaps a young person needing to do some volunteering towards their Gold DofE, Queens Scout etc.

If you are unable to give your time, can you offer a suitable prize for our forthcoming raffle? Maybe voucher for meal out in a restaurant or a beauty therapy session, or can you offer a few days break in a holiday home in the sun?

If you can help please contact Ann in UK ON 01932 562757 Many Thanks

First of all very many thanks must go to the Aussie couple – Kate and  Ben – still travelling somewhere in South Africa – for donating enough money to complete building the walls of a new Primary One classroom at our Nursery School. They only stayed a week but were brilliant help. This new classroom will [...]
