As well as the generous donations made the group of case (we raised around \u00a38,000 between us – that’s 30,000,000 Ugandan Shillings), we also had batches of kit donated.<\/p>\n

One batch of kit was given to Darren by Nottingham Forest. Our driver Joseph is proudly wearing his Nottingham Forest Tie – he looks very smart!<\/p>\n

You can see the delighted youngsters with their new shirts<\/p>\n
