YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

On Sunday July 24th I'm running the Sutherland to Surf for Love Mercy so that we can help build a medical clinic in war torn Northern Uganda. The pictures of the plans for this clinic are in the post below.

The clinic will be built in the Otuke county and every day, people in this region suffer, and in some cases, die needlessly because they don't have access to routine, preventative health care or emergency medical attention.

With our clinic, we want to restore dignity and life-saving care after more than 20 years of war.

Our clinic will provide primary medical care including triage and appropriate treatment, disease testing, inoculation, medication dispensing and education.

Do you want to help out? There are 2 ways you can help!

I am Strong

Tug of war with the boys  We began our second session - this time talking about "strength" in the harsh heat of the afternoon on Friday. We started with a brilliant demonstration of strength. We bought 3 yards of rope and  set up a tug-of-war. We started with two strong boys against each other, and then added  more and more people but only on one side. The game made everyone laugh and led to lots  of different teams: kids vs adults, girls vs boys etc. Andy began the session by stating "on our own we may not be strong, but together as a  team, we can be strong." this was a clear way to communicate a strong message of the  importance of unity. Then we explained that being strong is not only about having big muscles. Strength can  be on the inside as well as on the outside, and being strong means making good decisions. Andy used the example of two coke bottles. He took one and shook it very hard, then put another unshaken bottle next to ...

More from Awake: Rachel Hardy

 Like Water....   Rachel Hardy is spending time with the Kids in our sponsorship program to see how we can best help them in their future. Have a read of what she has to say on her latest trip to Orum Primary School. “A few years ago, you wouldn’t have stopped on the side of the road like this, would you?” “Eh, no. You didn’t ever stop. If you stopped, eh…you were gone.” On our way to Orum Primary School to take pictures of the sponsored children, nature called Jimmy, so we slowed to a stop on the side of the road. I asked him about stopping, and he gave his haunting response as he shut his door. I shuddered. Much of the territory I traverse for research and photo documentation is former Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) war land. Though the sheer beauty of the seemingly untouched countryside is stunning, I find myself wondering how many bodies are buried in those rolling hills and how many horrific tales I’d hear if those majestic trees could talk. Somewhat spooked, I ...
