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 :

Wednesday 8th July- the best blog 👍🏻

The day started like the beginning of the week and the day before with Abbie waking me and Sam up after a very long and nice sleep (-Sam's snoring). We all sat down for breakfast all exhausted some more than others however we still knew we had a job to do, with coaching not getting off to a good start with some teams not turning up. 

As we all boarded the bus Mollie also got on as she was not too well and did not want to walk. We got to the first place dropping just Mollie off on her own to be sorrouneded by all her kids. After we all sat on the bus and enjoyed the roller coaster ride till Kids of Africa school where me and my group got off to enjoy our amazing view off lake Victoria and the facilities surrounding us. As we arrived we realised quickly there was a football and netball tournament going on which meant I lost some of my players as well as the space we had to train. Jazmine's group turned up again, however Scott's did not so he just joined in and helped out Jazmine's team. 

After much consideration I was already able to tell my 10 that They were chosen for my team. Even though I lost half my team to football and netball. Jazmine was unhappy with her team as at the break they decided to run off and play netball and also hide the equipment which angered her as she turned into the Hulk to chase them down. Meanwhile this was happening Mr Loizou  forgot the fatal rule about sleeping at my school as I tipped water down his head to wake him up. On this day we had to end a little early due to the number of players. 

After lunch we headed out to the community project which went very well as we are so close to completing it with only one day remaining. As we arrived at the shop where we all had a cold refreshing drink 6 of us boys decided we were going to play the teachers at volleyball after a little friendly bet which Robert agreed on our behalf,  even though none of the other boys agreed. So as we all walked back we were all discussing tactics on how you could beat them even though we did have youth on our side! 

Me and Sam decided to have a little nap when we got back as everyone else decided to play with the kids. At dinner I decided to taunt the teachers in the spirit of the game,  making them feel as if they had no chance to win. Obviously they were never going to because of their lack of youthfulness in their side 🌚. 

After dinner we were all treated to entertainment from the kids from Kids Of Africa with some great dancing. Obviously some of my team were involved as they were the best........... of course!

Thank you for reading the best blog post!
