The Hibernian Community Foundation have continued their association with local groups linked to the Global Citizenship Partnership with the donation of new ‘old-stock’ kit to the initiative.
DHEF encourages families and especially women of all ages and cultures and from every sector of society to reach their potential through formal and informal educational projects. DHEF has a Christian ethos and in its activities promotes respect for the individual, personal freedom, self-confidence and responsible attitudes in professional, private and public life.
For the past 5 years, the charity has organised visits to Kampala, Uganda where volunteers have built a local school and now teach local children.
This week, Edinburgh based biology student Anna Stevenson received some of the new old-stock kit which the team of 15 volunteers will take with them. Anna is sports co-ordinator for the trip, and the Hibernian supporter was delighted when the Foundation agreed to support her efforts.
