<div><strong>Sophie and I hate running</strong>. And so naturally we decided to do a half marathon!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a challenge and a discipline and a common goal to work towards before Sophie goes off to uni :( and I go off travelling :D. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now obviously <em>asides</em> from the street credit gained from running the 21km, we wanted this run to mean something <strong>bigger</strong> than just that. 
</div>
<div>(Also if we do it for charity then we really do actually have to do it, you know?)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And so that leads us on to this..! 
</div>
<div>By clicking on this link you are already half way there, you might as well keep reading - in a world where it feels tough to make any positive difference - trust me, this is a way that you can. 
</div>
<div>...
</div>
<div><strong>Musana</strong> (which means sunshine) is a community development organisation and model located in several districts across Uganda. 
</div>
<div>...
</div>
<div>In the Summer of 2023, I had the privilege of going out to visit the projects and it was transformational for me in so many ways. 
</div>
<div>Not only did it show me that there is so much <em>joy</em> and <em>hope</em> and <em>life</em> when you look for it, but it also made me realise that I was looking at life the <em>wrong way</em>...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is so easy as westerners to think we know what everyone else needs, that we've got it right. 
</div>
<div>When in reality that White Saviour Mindset can cause so much harm, wasted funds, and a long-term dependency crisis.
</div>
<div>And honestly? It is a hard pill to swallow , but also one important enough that we have to try.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This bring me back to Musana.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Musana's mission is to be <em>entirely self sustainable,</em> locally led and locally driven. Running schools and hospitals, restaurants and empowerment centres, that are centred round <strong>local ownership</strong>, <strong>dignity</strong>, <strong>self-sufficiency</strong>. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>This is aid done right.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations are like bricks, they build the infrastructure needed, but once the buildings are built, the local communities embrace them and fill them and turn them into <em>thriving</em> business models that are turning a profit that is poured directly back into the communities and local economy.
</div>
<div><strong><em>This is how countries are changed</em>. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, (I promise I'm nearly done), Sophie and I want to invite you to join with us in this fundraiser, making a run that we are both dreading, a powerful force for good.
</div>
<div>You've read this far, so whether it is out of belief in this organisation or sympathy for Sophie and I, 
</div>
<div>please do give. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you :)
