Bransgore Evening WI is part of a Ringwood Group of WIs. Members of each WI have the opportunity of meeting up a few times each year and that’s a great time to exchange ideas and find out what our sister members are planning. It was at one of these events that we learnt about Susan’s (Ringwood WI) plan to visit a village in the highland region of Uganda to support the charity NECS. Nkuringo Education & Community Service works with a primary and secondary school. The Charity says ” that it takes a village to raise a child, well, thank goodness that we have a fantastic group of hardworking, passionate and dedicated volunteers to help raise our NECS child!” This has inspired Susan to go and help. We decided to help her by collecting specific items for women and girls. Susan has an allowance of 46 kgs of aid and BEWI has helped by donating undies, the sort of thing we take for granted when we pop into M&S. Susan was delighted with the generous donations from BEWI and we wish her good luck with her trip to Uganda in May.
