Mwana Mugimu




The VSOs in Kampala have gathered together, to work on a small project called ‘Mwana Mugimu’ (healthy child). Over the next few months, we’ll be working with some very small & sick children at a unit in Mulago Hospital. All of the children on this ward are severely malnourished; many have been abandoned or are orphans.

The activities we will be working on inlclude:
· putting our artistic skills to the test to brighten up the units
· improving the playground facilities
· introducing play therapy
· collecting toys & clothes

On Saturday, we delivered our first consignment of toys and clothes, which had been generously donated by friends & family in the UK & the Netherlands. It was a really fun morning & we hope to do it again - but we need more toys & clothes! Please let me know if you would like to help & I'll send further info...
