My Story

Hello everyone! This summer I will be volunteering virtually for four weeks with UCD Volunteers Overseas, as part of their Nurture Africa Vocational Training project in Nansana, Uganda. Nurture Africa, an Irish founded organisation, focuses on areas such as healthcare, education, child protection and gender equality and economic impowerment. Free education is provided by the Vocational Training Centre to 140 students each year, giving them the chance to obtain a qualification in areas such as tailoring, carpentry, catering and hair & beauty. The activites that I will hopefully be participating in this summer as part of this project could include vocational educational classes relating to the English language, ICT and others, with young individuals from Uganda. Virtual volunteering will certainly be a new experience and a challenge, but it can entail activities such as making content and pre-recorded videos,  and live sessions or workshops with the partner community. Along with the four weeks virtual volunteering as part of the UCDVO Volunteering & Global Citizenship Programme, I will also be participating in various UCDVO Programme Days. I have to raise 750 euro, and this will be going to UCDVO's overseas partners and contributing to their community development programmes, with part of those funds going towards Nurture Africa's livelihoods/education programmes and any particular costs, such as transport, food and resources, associated with the virtual volunteering project . Additional funds raised will be considered when looking at ways to further develop UCDVO's projects, either during the month-long placement or in years to come. I would be very grateful for any support or donations, big or small, to in turn support UCDVO and these deserving partners. Thank you so much! Sarah
