The last six weeks at Suubi has been jam packed with action. We have had a steady stream of overseas volunteers, all who have left their positive mark on the place.
Some of them stayed the full six weeks while others passed through for a relatively short space of time but were touched by their Ugandan experience. They all have indicated that they which to be involved with HUG again, either in Australia or by returning to Uganda. This is very exciting that they have all had such a positive experience!
Jan Heap had a huge impact passing on her sewing skills to the Suubi Ladies.

Terry and Sue O'Brien bought much joy to the community at Sharon Primary School.
Lucynda Tomaino enjoyed spending time with Ugandans, but also learnt much from other volunteers.
In fact the whole Tomaino family left with a changed out look on life.
Fabulous new friendships were formed between the local community and overseas volunteers.
Jackie and Naomi learnt much about their teaching profession from visiting local primary schools.
We also had Kate Leeming's documentary crew visit during this time which was very exciting for everyone. And our World Environment Day celebrations at Suubi were a huge success. To read all about these and other exciting stories during this time at the centre please visit our 2010 volunteer blog for detailed coverage. Hopefully you will get inspired to be become a volunteer yourself!!
