Sue and Terry O'Brien have been busy over the last few months raising funds for their upcoming volunteering trip with HUG in May. They were keen to raise enough money to install a water tank and organic garden at a school during their time in Uganda. To achieve this they set about getting friends, family and their local community involved.
Firstly they set up a stand at their local Tatong market where they sold HUG cards, calendars and bracelets, while at the same time raising great awareness about HUG on a day to day basis.

Then on April 10th and 11th Sue and Terry spoke at their church, St Joseph's in Benalla, about what they would be doing during their time in Uganda. They were absolutely overwhelmed with the response from their fellow parishioners. They not only offered emotional support towards their upcoming trip, but they also made donations and bought various HUG items. At the end of the day Terry and Sue were stunned to find that $1163 had been raised.
A huge thank you to Sue and Terry and everyone who got behind them.
Mulimu mulungi! (great work)

With this money added to the $873 they had raised earlier they will now easily be able to full-fill there dream of installing a water tank (maybe even two!) and organic garden at schools in Uganda.
