"Over the past 12 years I have supported
and championed projects in Uganda. During this period
one of the key partnerships has been with the Uganda Red
Cross to work in developing community based initiatives
to reduce vulnerability.
In 2009 we ran the pilot “run for humanity” project to
support communities to take ownership and make a difference
to their lives by reducing vulnerability. The project
used a 240km run from Pallisa to Kampala to inspire and
create the attention to allow us to deliver the first
aid awareness training.
In July 2010 we will be running a similar project, which
will begin with a focussed fortnight of activities supported
by a 400km awareness raising run. The main team will consist
of 5 people (2 from Uganda and 3 from the UK) but joined
on the way by hundreds of local community members."
