Maya Mehan and Anna Hindley-Skelt are registered to run the Manchester 10K later on this year in order to raise money for our trip to Uganda.
We are part of a team of 11 Withington Girls’ School students who are travelling to Uganda in October 2017 to continue the ongoing charitable work of our school in the Glory Be Nursery School. This school is particularly special as it has a specific Special Needs section to provide some education and activities for children who are usually ignored by African society. Many of these children are severely disabled. Immaculate who was the school’s Headmistress and co-founder sadly died in July 2016 during childbirth. Thankfully her daughter survived. Our aim is to raise 6.5k to build Staff Quarters for the Nursery School, which will hopefully be a fitting memorial to Immaculate.
We will also be donating to other Ugandan movements such as GIASCO, which provides residential care to street children and former street children who are now living within communities, Sonrise orphanage for orphaned babies and Wanyange Girls’ School, which provides girls the opportunity to get the education that they may now otherwise receive.
We thank you in advance for your generosity and all donations are greatly appreciated no matter how small.
All of the money raised will be used to directly support these establishments.
