Story

We are (virtually) cycling and walking our way from East African Playground's office in Milton Keynes to Uganda (nearly 9000km). Please support us in this enormous effort!

Team 1 : FEEL THE LOVE TO BIDIBIDI - 1. Anuraag Parashar, 2. Ruhi Hamid, 3. Nick Eyre, 4. Tam Eyre, 5. Jo Maehre, 6. Anders Maehre, 7. Kai Winnem, 8. Paul Dodd, 9. Jo Dodd, 10. Rizu Hamid.

Team 2 : ALVIN & THE 2 WHEELED CHIPMUNKS - 1. Alex Muse, 2. Matt Holden, 3. Tim Coombs, 4. Andy Jackson, 5. Gavin McArthur, 6. David Lloyd, 7. Liam Dodd, 8. Anuraag Parashar.

In Uganda, refugee children's futures are profoundly impacted by the lack of safe play facilities to heal, learn and develop. A lack of educational opportunities and unresolved trauma, can have a negative and lasting impact on mental and physical health and employment prospects of refugee children. The impact of COVID-19 in the refugee settlements is likely to make things even worse. 

We are taking part in Quest to Bidibidi, a virtual race of 8,800km from Milton Keynes to Bidibidi refugee settlement, Uganda, to raise money to provide play-based learning programmes and safe, exciting playground facilities to 17 communities in Bidibidi, the second largest refugee settlement in the world. As a team, we will cover the distance any way we can over the next few weeks and months - it's not going to be easy so we need your support! 

Any money that you donate will help give 27,000 refugee children increased access to early years education, supporting long-term health, well-being and employment prospects and empowering them to map their own path to a brighter future.

Please also don't forget to tick the gift aid box if you are a UK tax payer.

Thank you so so much.

We are incredibly grateful for your support. xx
