Becky's Sponsored Run

Sponsor Becky’s 10K to raise money for students’
school fees.

On 20th July our daughter Becky is running the Great
Capital Run (10K) to raise money for a local school
project here in Masindi. Primary education in Uganda
is free but secondary is fee paying. As a result of a
documentary about the difficulties faced by young
people in Uganda shown on BBC2 in 2005 several donors
from the UK offered to pay for a class of students’
school fees. Unfortunately these donations have run
dry and a class of 55 secondary school students risk
being thrown out of school because they cannot afford
the school fees. Sallie, from New Court View Hotel in Masindi, is organizing a fundraising
campaign to try to keep the students in school. If
you would like to sponsor Becky to complete the 10K in
less than an hour then please go to the widget on the right hand side of this page.
Thank you!
