ANOTHER PICTURE THAT TELLS A STORY
You can help - It's Easy.
A little of your time will go a long way. 

Africa is different from the UK. We are normally fit and can resist most diseases. When illness does break through, there is the NHS

In Africa malnutrition and poor hygiene means small illnesses often become major  - and when they do there is little medical cover. 

So this lad. He was wandering around outside a health centre. His eye swelling was so gross, I was not sure what it was - then the penny dropped -  Conjunctivitis - with a lot of rubbing with grubby hands. In the UK a whiff of drops. In Africa rubbing and infection can lead to Trachoma then blindness. It is so unfair!! 

Our project is working in Uganda so more lads can get advice and drops and not go blind.

UK Money is making a difference. The office is totally dependent on our funding and now we have increasing opportunities to save lives by upgrading Oberabic further.

We have some skills help in the UK. It would be great to have more. 

Here are four money raising ideas.

Idea 1 - Recycle Printer Cartridge

So simple. So effective. Please put your used printer cartridges in one of our envelopes. We can send one to you if you give our address or you can order direct from the charity recycle firm by clicking this link.. www.recycle4charity.co.uk/Register/C59069

Toners. If you have access to these, please let us know so we can arrange collection.

Idea 2 - Give a Little;Get a Lot. 

We give a little; They get a lot! Be a hero and save lives. Please consider setting up a standing order for £1.00/month. It will make a big difference to us. It takes a little time; please do it now!

Idea 4 - Advocacy

How about that MAD thing -- Making A Difference. Would you be willing to ask your friends and contacts to recycle their spent printer cartridges for us?. My dentist and tennis club are onto it -  Church next. Could you do it? We can send you our leaflet if you ask on dnuds321@gmail.com.. It outlines the used printer idea an also our needs.

And we also need help with skills

Idea 5 - skills

We really need help with

• IT to produce this blog, letters and eventually website
• Fund raising. People with skills and time to help us with this.
• People able to go to visit Uganda: to take photo’s, do reports, to build, to administer, doctors, nurses.

We are working on other ideas
