Story

Uh hum... 

On the 10th of June, volcanic ash permitting, I will be heading over to Heathrow airport to bang out some serious carbon emissions in the name of do gooding! 

Flying, driving and ass back riding straight to the backwaters of Uganda with 8 others from my agency, I will be building a secondary school with the Many Ogilvy Hands charity. 

The school will be large enough to educate 450 children in the rural village of Buikwe and make a huge difference to the community as a whole. 

If you skip your daily 20 pack or Mocha Frappachino and palm me some of your hard earned cash (via the link above) your donations will help pay for the bricks, cement, tiles, plumbing, glass, furniture, kitchen utensils and everything else that is needed to build the school. Including the salaries of professional local builders who will fix our shoddy workmanship. 

Once the school is complete, the project will move on to other projects, such as building an orphanage, funding new farm machinery, and digging wells. 

I am funding the cost of my flights and jabs so don't worry yourselves about that. I'm also throwing a charity boat party for 300 people on June 3rd (tickets £15, get at me) to raise additional monies so I'm not being a massive pauper here ok. 

Please forget about all the other bad shit that's afflicting the planet right now and give whatever you can to me (and the kids)! 

Stay tuned for the vid, I'll be taking the camera along. 

Thanks, love, jah bless, and peace.

RCN 1010597
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.
