Story
We have an amazing opportunity to take three of our students, (each of whom have overcome a lot of odds to graduate from TLG with fantastic qualifications and stories of personal transformation) to Uganda to work with disadvantaged children and young people in schools, orphanages and through detatched work.
What are we doing?
We will be flying to Kampala on October 27th, and returning 2 weeks later on November 10th. For most of our team, this will be their first time away from home- and what a place to start! The plan for the fortnight will include; teaching in a day centre for primary aged children; reaching out to children in the slums of Kampala; working in a half way house for street children in Tuddabejja; brick making and cooking; leading activities for a community school and an orphange; and finally visiting Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our students have overcome a lot in their own lives and education to get to this point, so for them to be able to go and help other young people who are struggling in deprived parts of the world will be an extremely rewarding, challenging and life changing experience. By sponsoring us, fundraising for us and encouraging others to partner with us you are helping us to make this amazing project happen! Thank you!
Who are we?
TLG is a Christian charity that believes education is a basic human right. We know that it can help to create opportunity and to live life with purpose. TLG aims to provide a second chance to all children and young people who have been excluded from school or at crisis point in their education and provide that opportunity.
We believe that children and young people do not have to be victims of their circumstances. Those at TLG have often experienced crises- from family breakdown, being in the care system, bereavement and bullying to drug or alcohol abuse, gang involvement or other distressing circumstances. We aim to support individuals to work through the underlying causes of their behaviour whilst catching up on vital qualifications.
