Welsh TV programme Newid Byd is currently on a re-run - showing four teenagers working with various charity projects... including the Child of Hope School and in the Namatala slum.
Luis Miles Evans, Rachel Lewis, Ceri Elsbeth Lewi and Iestyn Wyn Lewis have their eyes opened in Uganda as they volunteer on charity projects, under Arwel Phillips’ leadership. During the course of the series, we see them struggling to cope with physical building work in the intense heat, try their hand at bead and jewellery making, being creative when setting up a school library, and getting their hands dirty planting trees and harvesting Fair Trade coffee. As well as physical work, they will have to face emotional challenges too, hearing from women and children who are suffering from HIV and seeing the reality of extreme everyday poverty for the kids living in Namatala slum.
The programme is available in WALES in Welsh, mind, with English subtitles. Watch LIVE or on demand at www.s4c.co.uk/clic .
