This summer, I have the absolute pleasure of volunteering with UCD Volunteers Overseas for the second time. I will be returning to Uganda as a Student Leader with the Nansana Project. I will be travelling in June with 15 other UCD volunteers, and we will be working in partnership with Nurture Africa, a healthcare centre based in Nansana. The Nansana Project began in 2015, and the work done includes physiotherapy and play therapy with children with disabilities, malnutrition screening, as well as educational workshop for parents and children on a range of topics including nutrition, first aid, sexual education, as well as educating the public to help reduce the stigma surrounding disabilities. As a volunteer, we must all raise €2,600 for the project. I plan on funding majority of this personally but it does includes roughly €1,200 which will go directly to helping the project. I have organised upcoming fundraising events to help raise this money, but if you would like to donate directly to this cause, big or small, every donation would be so greatly appreciated by such an amazing project.
