Uganda Team 2014
We're a group of students and teachers at Dulwich College Shanghai who recognise that we have been blessed with many privileges that others have not. This trip aims to go some small way to giving to others what we have been fortunate to receive. Our teachers on this trip are Miss Barnard, Miss Yu, Mr Reich and Mr Clapperton.
There is also a team of parents who have been working hard to support the project: Alice Pellegrino, Alison Bracknall, Veena Rao, Mary Clarke and Karen O'Neill. Along with Lindsay Bellis we would like to say a huge thank you for all of their support!
