Uganda team return!
Uganda News
The team of young people from Aston and inner city Birmingham spent 17 days in Uganda working on various projects with local people and visiting schools and community projects. The main focus of their work was digging drainage trenches and septic tanks in the hard clay African soil to provide sanitation for the village.
It was hard work particularly in the heat, but fun learning how to use traditional tools; to quote one member of the team “to share in everyday life with people from a completely different culture was fascinating. We learnt from one another, shared stories, shared challenges, shared drinks and by the end of it we were genuine friends”- Olly.
By the end of our time, we were able to speed up the process of digging but still we were’nt as quick as Silas and Rowan (local Ugandan’s) who continued to dig double our speed without sweating!
