For the last eight years, the students and staff at Parkwood Sixth Form College and Ark William Parker Academy have been involved in raising funds to support the large village of Kabubbu in Uganda through the Quicken Trust. At first we raised money for a well in Kabubbu. Since then two groups of  staff and students have visited and worked in Kabubbu. We are now planning to return with another group of students in April 2014.

As part of the our project, they are raising funds to help for families who, despite working hard to survive, are living in appalling conditions in mud huts. These funds will pay for the materials and bricks, which are made in the village, and it will pay the local builders.

Whilst in Kabubbu, we will also take part in other development projects: visiting families, assessing their needs, and providing the basics for survival e.g. mosquito nets, bedding, water butts, agricultural tools and seeds etc. In addition, they will augment and assist with the desperately needed teaching resources in the primary and secondary schools, and help run assemblies. Working with the trip doctor, some of the students will help in the local medical centre. Every penny raised really makes a difference to the lives of the people in Uganda, and the students and staff witness exactly how the money is spent.

Every penny of your donation really does help and 100% of it goes to our cause. Thank you very much for visiting our page.

We as a college have raised a fantastic £8,000 offline for the volunteer work will be doing out in Kabbubu. We have raised this money through a fancy dress 18 mile walk, as well organising a brilliant Christmas show for our college and several other fundraising schemes.
