Next summer I am planning to spend two weeks in Uganda volunteering in childcare with IVHQ. This will involve being placed in extremely under resourced day care centers and nurseries where I will look after vulnerable children living in poverty - many of whom will have lost one or both of their parents due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. My role will include educational activities where I will assist in teaching the children basic English and Maths, health and hygiene, and reading and writing. I would also play games with the children and assist in arts and crafts, feeding and daily chores. It has always been a goal of mine to go and volunteer in Africa and to offer my knowledge and skills to help those in need. I have decided that next summer would be an ideal time to do this and wanted to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. Due to the high cost of flights from Scotland to Uganda I am looking to raise as much money as possible to cover this as well as the project fees required through the organisation I will be working with. This will go towards the money I will be saving up over the next year to be able to afford the trip. Anything anyone can spare would be amazing :)
