Alex Hirst is raising money for Many Ogilvy Hands
“Alex Hirst's fundraising”

on 3 February 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
In 2009, Ogilvy Group UK started working in partnership with International Needs (Registered Charity No 1010597 - www.ineeds.org.uk) in a project called Many Ogilvy Hands. This project has a mission to build a secondary school in the village of Buikwe in Uganda to provide education for around 450 young people. There is a lot to be done but we believe that many hands make light work. So come and join us - together there is much that we can achieve.
