Team visit February 7-20th 2024

February 04, 2024/ Naomi Foster

On Wednesday 7th February, a team of 13 people leave Manchester for a visit to Jinja, Uganda.

We will be focused on Nile Vocational Institute , where UgandAid supports young people through sponsorship to learn life changing vocational skills. We will attempt to update daily on our activities, experiences and the stories of the people we meet.
