Uganda
First of all we want to say huge congratulations to Juliet, who is on our team of staff, and who recently had her graduation party from University!
We also want to welcome Lailite to our staff team as a home assistant!
The children have been enjoying a wonderful time on their holidays between first and second term of school. Lots of fun and games were had as well as a chance for the children to go and visit some of their relatives where possible.
We had especially good news for Hassan who has managed to be re-united with his mother who he lost touch with aged four when his parents divorced. It was wonderful for them to find each other again - and he got to meet his new half-brothers and sisters too!
UK
It's been a busy time for us in the UK too. We've had lots of incredible people taking on the Nile in the UK to make a Splash for S.A.L.V.E. and help to raise money for us, from Kate in Brussels, to Fiona in Chesterfield to the Manchester crew who took up the challenge yesterday (is that really a Nile crocodile in the UK?!). A huge thank you to you all for your efforts and good luck to all of those yet to swim!
Another huge congrats has to go to the amazing Kathryn Ellis who got round the London Marathon in style for S.A.L.V.E. in an impressive time of 4 hours 36 minutes - from all of us on the S.A.L.V.E. team, well done!
Another big thank you has to go to Becca and Jeremie who have been long term supporters of S.A.L.V.E. - so much so that they didn't forget us on their special day and did an incredible collection for us at their wedding! Thank you so much!!
Also a big congrats to everyone who took part in BUMMIT hitchhike from Sheffield to Poland with Sheffield rag. You all did so well and we are so proud to be one of the charities you have chosen to support this year!
Volunteer
Finally, just to let you know that we are currently looking for two amazing interns to go out to Uganda and help us in our work from September to February - check out the details on how to apply here.
If that's a bit too far to go - there is something you can do in the comfort of your own home to make a huge difference! We have entered the Co-operative's My Revolution Competition and are currently at 2nd place in our category (first place wins £5000 ... 2nd place wins nothing) and we have 20 days to get to number one! Please help us by voting and by asking your friends and family to vote too - £5000 would make a huge difference to the work we can do in Uganda this year!
Thanks again for your support,
Lots of love from the S.A.L.V.E. Team
