Final call for Uganda volunteers

Nurture Africa still have places for IMPACT volunteers interested in taking part in a two-week placement in Uganda next month. Since 2012, IMPACT's developing world fund has been supporting the Irish charity, which provides health care and education for orphans and children affected by HIV-AIDS.

 

The organisation also provides employment and health education programmes in the communities where these children live. As part of its support, IMPACT has part-funded a limited number of members who take part in Nurture Africa volunteer programmes.

 

Nurture Africa took four volunteers to Uganda in November 2013. In this short film they tell the story of their visit and what it meant to them. Brian Furey, Ed Walsh, Mary Capliss and John Cloughley talk about their experience of Nurture Africa's work and their contact with communities in Uganda.

 

If you are interested in taking part in April, visit the Nurture Africa website or send an email to project coordinator Kevin Murphy.
