Uganda Study Tour 2008
The latest Water for Kids study tour to Uganda was again successful,
it provided safe water for the first time to three rural communities and
worked on health projects in collaboration with Daventry Friends
of Iganga (DFoI) and the local District Health Services.
Before the arrival of the group, consisting of 21 people including 9 Environmental
Health Officers, WfK's Ugandan partners bought materials for the projects
that had been planned for action during the visit.
Members of the party had hoped to get their hands dirty and be involved
with planned projects, but this is often difficult when the local people
insist on doing the work themselves and try to stop the visiting 'Mzungus'
getting involved. However, although the digging of water sources and building
of protected facilities did take place the majority of the work done by
the group involved cleaning, painting and putting the final touches to
ongoing projects.
