During the year 2 Trustees stepped down and weren’t replaced and 2 of the additional volunteers also stepped down.
A Fundraising & Marketing Team was established during the summer, made up of 2 Trustees, 1 other Operations Team member, plus 5 others. Anyone joining an annual team visit to Uganda are also volunteers. From time to time, one of these volunteers may give a presentation to an organisation, such as a school, college or company.
UgandAid would not be able to operate without volunteers.

| Section D | Achievements andperformance |
|---|---|
| With so many people joining the 2023 Team Visits there was much achieved. The College Medical Centre was refurbished and a few items of equipment purchased. Additionally, the Catering Department training kitchen, with five work stations and practice dining room were completely refurbished. We were also able, with the help of the Food & Beverages Manager at our hotel, to provide made new stainless steel work tops for each station, along with a new chest freezer, American style fridge, ice cream maker, juice dispenser, deep fat fryer and washing machine. All items required as detailed by the Ugandan Ministry of Education & Sports. Both Teams had the opportunity to meet and spend time with all 117 UgandAid sponsored students, including the new intake of 45 whom had just arrived. We were able to visit the homes of four of the students in local villages and the home of a previous student in the local slum. Team A hosted all students for games and picnic in a local park. It’s amazing to see and hear teenagers enjoying a parachute game, skittles, an egg and spoon race to name just a few. The place was full of laughter and joy. At the end of the four weeks we hosted a Ugandan style garden party, at our hotel, with cake (made by a past catering student) and sodas, for around 25 alumni and several members of NVI staff. Several shared their stories and how their lives had changed as a result of being sponsored, to study at Nile Vocational Institute. It was wonderful that having seen the difference sponsorship can have, 12 people who had joined us for the first time chose to sponsor a student. |
