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 :

Tuesday 7th July - Day 2 of coaching in Entebbe & community project

Today mine and my friends start to the day was a rush as breakfast was being served as we woke up at 7.30. We finally reached breakfast 20 minutes late where we joined the whole group; with faces full of disappointment from the teachers due to our lateness. 

Luckily today all the schools turned up for training in my group unlike yesterday, although Jasmine L's group was rather late. The children picked up the rules of the games more quickly than yesterday and the coaching went more smoothly. After a long morning of coaching we arrived back to kids of Africa to sunbathe on the top terrace before we went to continue our community work at a local primary school.

When we arrived to the school, the boys took the job continuing to build the classroom alongside Mr Brown whilst some of us continued to paint the already existing classrooms and help teach; while our photographs were being constantly taken by Mr Loizou.          
                                             
 After our 2 hours of work we walked into town to get a drink then the boys set off to find some nails for tomorrow's building work. After 20 minutes of walking they turn back round to find out the shop was only 2 minutes away from where they started.
