Welling School Tag Rugby Tour of Uganda 2015

On June 27th 2015, 13 Students and 5 Staff from Welling School will head for Uganda to coach some of the most underpriveleged children from government schools and orphanages, on how to play the game of Tag Rugby. The Students have spent over a year raising money to fund the project themselves. Over £20,000 has been raised so far! As well as coaching the children in Uganda they will also be training the School Staff and leave enough equipment and resources for the schools to continue playing and enjoying the game. They will also undertake a community project where they will help to make improvements to an impoverished village school. Donations can be made using this 'justgiving' link :

Sunday 5th July: transfer day

Today consisted of a 6 hour, hair raising journey where we passed closely to a man carrying many chickens, a donkey, cows, goats and general manic roads. The distance was 75 km and we were all very hot. Christian had a hair raising experience where a man touched his arm which was hanging out the bus. He screamed only to find out it was a member of the Tag Rugby trust. We arrived at the Kids of Africa oasis orphanage around 4pm, eaten two meals, met our houses where we were staying and hit the sack!
