Shipping Tents to Uganda - 22nd January 2011

George Sandwith of the Rotary World Help Network helping to organise for shipment the 35 tents donated by various groups within Fraser Valley for the Scout Troop in Mintyana. Their stated goal of "Helping Communities Help Themselves" was a perfect addition to the kindness displayed by local Groups donating their excess tents for the Scouting youth of Mityana.

Special thanks to:

  • John Lightfoot (Group Commissioner) and leaders of 1st Semiahmoo for their support in letting me go ahead with this project
  • Barney Dohm (Area Commissioner for West SurDel) for his tireless support
  • Grant Gilmour for making the connection with Rotary
  • George Sandwith and Janice Froese of RWHN for helping us get the tents to the youth that need them
  • The following Fraser Valley Council groups for donating their tents:
    • 1st Semiahmoo
    • 9th Surdel
    • 8th Surdel
    • 1st Kirkland Ladner
