Staff and students from Ashton Sixth Form College recently returned from a life changing trip to Uganda.

The group spent 14 days in Uganda, staying in Jinja and working closely with the Nile Vocational Institute. Whilst there the group have been involved in a range of Projects including:

Refurbishing classrooms in a primary school near the centre of Jinja.

Teaching lessons in the Nile Vocational College.

Village outreach work- working in hygiene education.

Staff and students also took medical equipment out to Uganda as well as shoes and clothes for orphaned village children.

In addition to these projects we have on-going involvement with Arise Africa, who work in villages providing medical help, nutrition and child development programmes, and work with orphans, alongside Christian outreach. Also we support Act 4 Africa (using drama to teach about prevention of AIDS).
