In September, Volunteer East received a generous donation of £500. The money was donated to our partnership organisation in Uganda and spent on purchasing beds for the new orphan girls living at the school. Up until then, the girls had been sleeping on mattresses on the floor, with up to six girls sharing one mattress!
Thanks to the donation money, the quality of life has improved significantly for the girls. They can now have a proper rest every night, there is less illnesses spreading around and the girls feel like they have their own small private space in the new dormitory halls where their bedrooms are located.
