Motherly Care First Night Camping Experience.
During a Plastic Tide Turners Scout Camp in April 2025 at Charles Lwanga Primary, while other Scouts slept in tents, the Motherly Care Scouts spent the nights in dormitories. They expressed a desire to experience camping like their peers and to enjoy the adventure, teamwork, and learning that comes with sleeping outdoors.
To address this challenge, I launched a fundraising campaign was through the Scout Donation Platform (https://donate.scout.org). Through the generosity of an annonymous donor, two troop camping tents and twenty sleeping bags were procured and delivered to the Scouts on 20th May 2026. On 31 May 2026, shortly after receiving the equipment, the Scouts held their first overnight camp within the Motherly Care Children's Home compound under the theme "First Night Camping Experience."
This project helped highlight clearly that access to the right resources can open doors to meaningful educational and developmental experiences for young people.
