What a great and generous move to make a positive impact among the most disadvantaged to realize their full potential! We are given strength in order to raise up the weak. God bless all the kind hearts forever!
SEDCU is excited to share with you an amazing fundraising event being completed by one of our sponsors. Please read Nik's story;
Three of my brave friends and I are taking on the climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. On the 15th of March 2025, we start our journey in Kathmandu and by day 10 will arrive at Everest Base Camp. This entire trip will be challenging, and it would be a lie to say we aren’t nervous. But it is all for a good cause!
We are luckily enough to be able to sponsor and support a young deaf child through SEDCU in gaining an education and who now attends a specialist school in the Kisoro District in Uganda. This school has established facilities for the teaching of children who are deaf, visually impaired or blind, or have some other disabilities. The deaf children are taught using sign language in small, dedicated classes and enables them to receive extra attention and specialised equipment to enhance their education.
My wife and I have two profoundly deaf children, Ava-Rose and Charlie. This was identified at their new born baby screenings, and we found it very hard to come to terms with. With the help of the hospitals and our family and friends it soon came apparent that none of this mattered.
In the first six months there were a lot of tests for both children to endure. This was emotionally hard for us all at times, but we knew it would be a benefit to us all, but especially to Ava-Rose and Charlie. We chose for them both to have cochlear implants which has given them a good degree of hearing. Ava-Rose and Charlie are excelling in life and are the most wonderful children. We couldn’t be prouder of the independent, kind and caring people they have become.
Please support me by supporting SEDCU which will enable them to continue broadening and strengthening support to disadvantaged children in Uganda so that they can benefit from good quality education and realise their full potential. https://checkout.justgiving.com/bdbun8n70g
