David Jones to take part in Charity cycle ride to Uganda Expedition 2009

David Jones Planning Partner at Evans Jones LLP is supporting the Cleansheet Foundation Charity Cycle ride to Uganda.

David will be cycling a “gruelling” 600 miles in 6 days on the Austria to Macedonia leg – starting in Graz on 12th September finishing in Skopje on 19th September.

The Cycle to Uganda Expedition project aims are:

To help the orphaned pupils at the school sustain and support themselves.

To help the students have a stable education.

To create a farm to enable the students to feed themselves.

To teach life skills to the students this can be used to support them for the long term.

Create a self reliance on their farm and acquired skills and not Aid.

To create links with a college specialising in agriculture in the UK and to support students from the UK to work on the farm for the next 3 years.

The project is being managed on the ground by a specialist charity‚ African Revival‚ who will ensure prudence and the audited use of funds and this in turn will ensure the long term survival of the initiative.

The initiative is also supported in the UK by the agricultural department of the Hartpury College‚ part of the University of the West of England who are partnering with us to ensure that the farm is sustainable and environmentally sound.

The event entails cycling from Hartpury College through southern England‚ France‚ Belgium‚ Germany‚ Austria‚ Hungry‚ Serbia‚ Macedonia and Greece then a short hop into Africa avoiding the politically unstable countries of Sudan and Chad and then cycling from Nairobi in Kenya to Koch Goma near Gulu arriving on or around the 7th October.

David would welcome any support you can give‚ so if you would like to sponsor him please go to the justgiving website.
