Testbourne Team Uganda 2010

They were picked, not for their academic abilities alone, but for their general all round behaviour and attitude to learning, as well as their everyday conduct and manners.

The next trip will take place in October 2010, and is the fourth of a five-year project. The Winchester Diocese is linked to this part of Uganda, the Whitchurch Deanery in particular with Mityana, and now Testbourne School has been linked with Mityana Secondary

School.

Mrs Sarah Romain and Rev Dodie Marsden –who,

along with Miss Sarah Lamb, will accompany the

pupils, building further on the previous Testbourne

School visits to the area in 2007 and 2008.

The two-week trip will include a visit to an

orphanage, church services, a tea plantation, an

African drum session and an excursion to the

Murchison Falls National Park. The pupils will also

learn about the language, the tribal systems, social

issues, HIV and Aids, and also experience first

hand, geographical, ecological, economical, and

conservation issues so vastly different from our own.

Any fundraising additional to the trip itself will be

Will be distributed to several places that we visit on

our trip e.g. the orphange and local rural primary

schools and of course the secondaey school.

culture
To reflect on what they can learn from first-hand
experience and to share that knowledge for the
mutual benefit of others
To continue to develop the Whitchurch-Mityana
relationship
