Pre Trip Preparation

Uganda Volunteer Trip

From the 21st to the 28th of September Bruce and Georgie Campbell founders of EBS are hosting an inspiring trip to Uganda to be a part of building the new KCM Rehabilitation Centre. The trip involves spending time at the KCM Medical Camp interacting with the children, as well as helping host a Fun Day for the KCM community and over 2,000 Locals. 

Co-Owners of Bishopdale Pharmacy Maria and Amanda will be participating in the trip to Uganda to help build the Rehabilitation Centre.

The first part of the journey is getting prepared - step 1 vaccinations! And quite a few it turns out....A big thank you to Merivale Medical Practice - Christchurch Travel Clinic.

When asked how they became involved in this project, Amanda and Maria explained “this trip came about based on a chance meeting, between two people in Perth airport. That meeting compelled one man to become involved in this cause. It was our meeting with that man, which compelled us to be part of this incredibly important work.”
When asked why this particular cause when there are so many out there, Amanda and Maria replied “most of us would like to be involved making a difference, sometimes it is hard to know where to start. The opportunity for us to make a difference in the life of even one child, was one we felt compelled to take. We were asked to help with this cause, are able to do so and so we are going to.”

The man who compelled Amanda and Maria to join the cause is named Bruce Campbell, he made a video explaining how he found out about the charity and why he wanted to be a part of it.
