My name's Justin and I am planning to visit Uganda this summer to work at Edith's Home – a charity supporting HIV/AIDS orphans in the community of Ngora a small town in the Teso region of Uganda.

Because of very limited resources, these children are put to the "bottom of the pile" in an already strained family situation. Edith's Home provide sponsorship of school fees and vocational training for orphans to support them psychologically and spiritually. More recently the work has extended to supporting orphans with no family support (child headed families). Edith's home is helping them to gain independence by setting up micro enterprise initiatives to help sustain the project: food storage, farming, business loan schemes and office services.

I will be part of a team going out to run a summer camp for the sponsored students, and I also hope to take a camera along to film some interviews and make a short promo for the charity.

I need to raise a minimum of £1,500 to pay for the trip, so if you can spare a donation (big or small) to help me it would be really appreciated.

I'm also doing a weekly video diary, where sponsors will be able to set me a challenge (watch this space!).
