And we’re off….
All the preparations are done – and our team of 10 volunteers are off to Uganda! Wish us luck (and send donations via Just Giving!).
We’re travelling from Heathrow on Ethiopian Airways – via Addis Abbaba to Uganda.
We’ve each got a bag of our own kit – and each another large bag of kit that has been put together through the funds raised so far.
Here’s the team setting out today – next stop Africa!

Good luck to everyone. Have a great trip and take time out to appreciate this beautiful country. We look forward to reading the blogs (hopefully we can still get it from a beach in Mauritius when we celebrate Mike’s big birthday!) Say hi to Yusuf and Joseph for us.

Good luck everyone …. sounds like a very good cause. Tim Heeley let me know on Twitter about yr project and upcoming trip to Uganda… I am from Nottingham originally and now live in Kampala as a news producer for the number 1 television station. I was wondering where you be based during your trip? If there is anything I can help with please don’t hesitate to contact me via email … jconway@ntvuganda.co.ug
I am sure our sports desk would also be interested in promoting yr work while you are around.
Anyway have a safe flight and a wonderful time in the pearl of Africa.
