On Friday, 13th March, we're waiting to hear from Emily - who's just arrived in Kampala, Uganda and will be spending the next week overseeing a pilot capacity building project alongside a group of 4 top Barclay graduates who will be volunteering their marketing skills to help drive an HIV/Aids Outreach and Home-Care Initiative. Emily arrived earlier in the week and has been busy working with the expert partner to ensure that when the volunteers arrive on Sunday all runs according to plan.
Emily phones at 10:15am...to give an update - she's in a remote place called Ginga, 18kms from Kampala, the country's capital. It's the epicenter of HIV Aids - she says 'a harrowing reality'. She's spent the last few days uncovering where the needs are, creating a long-term vision for partnership in Uganda to help with the crisis and waits to see how, once the volunteers arrive on Sunday, the project will work to empower, train - and create an infrastructure for fulfilling the needs of the community.
