I saw an article earlier today at NJ.com entitle, “Tubing in the Delaware will help orphans in Uganda” that caught my attention. According to this article, this event is scheduled to take off in the Delaware River from Kingwood Township on Saturday September 5, or in the event of rain, Sunday, September 6. There will be a stop on an island so participants can enjoy a barbecue lunch courtesy of The Famous River hot Dog Man. Kids over the age of 5 are welcome to participate. The cost of this even is $30 per person and all proceeds will go to help finance the construction and staffing of a pediatric health clinic at the Awegys School in Kigo, Uganda. The Awegys School is a school for Ugandan orphans. Those who would like more information, or who wish to register to participate in this charitable event should send an e-mail to tubing4uganda@yahoo.com or visit the Outside the Dream foundation’s website.
The Outside the Dream Foundation will oversee the construction of this clinic. Outside the Dream is a registered NGO that plans, coordinates and funds the development of this and other projects that are implemented by Ugandan communities. This organization does not dictate which projects will be undertaken, but instead allows communities to decide which projects they will choose to undertake and the most effective methods to complete these projects.
If you enjoy tubing down the Delaware, I encourage you to participate in this fun activity for the whole family and, at the same time, help to benefit former child soldiers, orphans, the homeless and other vulnerable children in Uganda.
