Mid-year update, Uganda.
Posted on July 4th, 2010 by jowanna
Earlier this year COL were pleased to donate 20 hoops to St Albans Church Book Fair in Sydneys Blue Mountains region. The hoops were sold to help raise money for Ibulanku Health Centre and St Albans School in Uganda.
The bookfair is held each year by my friends family who also make visits to the village taking supplies with them.
Afterwards, courtesy my lovely friends mum who paid for the cost of the hoops and took them with her. It was arranged for 20 hoops to be sent to St Albans school in Uganda and they have arrived safely and are being used by the children there which is wonderful!!!
We hope to send more in future – and of course if you would like to help out, please get in touch or donate (-:
Hi there! i stumbled across your site via hoopcity… Great job! I am currently starting up a similar project as you are. As with a lot of hoopers I have funded many “free” hoops out of my pocket, just to get people and kids hooping. Recently a friend of mine brought 5 hoops to Argentina with her to give away to the kids. She was a hit! And so were the hoops!
Something so simple can make such a difference.
I commend your work! Keep on xxxx
