Earlier this year, thanks to a sizable donation from the Lander4Uganda 2020 team, a huge step was made in helping the Molly and Paul schools to become self sufficient. 12 acres of land was tilled, fences were put up and crops were planted, nurtured, harvested and then eaten by the students, staff and their families during lockdown. These timely deliveries of food were absolutely vital in supporting families who had no way of supporting themselves due to Coronavirus restrictions.

We now aim to raise a further £5000 so that the 12 acres of land can be cultivated again next year, to feed all the students in the Molly and Paul Child Care Foundation schools.  We aim to raise this money through a POSHO CHALLENGE!

So what is a Posho Challenge?

Staff and students (and families are very welcome too) will commit to eating only the restricted diet that Ugandan children eat every day.

This means we will eat a diet of:
• Posho (maize flour and water) and boiled beans
• A small selection of fruit (based on medical advice)
• The only liquid we will drink is plain water

You can sign up for a day, a weekend or, if you think you can handle it, a whole week! If you are interested in taking part, please email lander4uganda@richardlander.cornwall.sch.uk

Every penny raised by this effort will be used to make a real and direct difference to Ugandan villages and schools visited by Richard Lander School.
