Video Blog: The Uganda Trip
18/12/2009 @ 2:43 pmI don’t think any of us realised what this trip back to Africa meant until we were actually all standing amongst the masses with nets in our hands.
It was certainly a poignant and emotional trip and extremely positive too.
On day one we got a chance to climb all over thousands of nets in a warehouse. Nearly a million bought down to you lot donating so thanks!
The second day lead us to a huge field in a community who desperately needed mosquito nets. We stood at the foot of the crowd and handed them all out to thousands of smiley faces. An incredible day!
The rest of the week was spent doing more net distributions and I visited some families in villages who had recently received nets. It was so nice to be taken around communities and see bright blue nets hanging in every home! Many families getting a stress free night for the first time in ages!
This trip made climbing that blimmin mountain so worthwhile!
