VIDEO - Summary of the UgaTuga trip

We would like to give a big big THANK YOU to all of you that got involved with the UgaTuga project!

To our families, friends, coleagues and the almost 900 "fans" of UgaTuga club in Facebook!

It wouldn't mean the same doing this trip without all your support and entushiasm.

and... do you want to know the latest news?!? UgaTuga project is still ALIVE, even after the trip!

We are still in contact with the NGOs that we've met (in Portugal & in The Gambia) and full support their amazing work! We keep on promoting their activities and help them by raising funds, essencial for the continuity of their projects. Meaning, allowing them to real make a difference with the local communities. A special mention to the NGOs we've met in The Gambia as they are dedicating their lives for giving their time to the locals, without asking nothing in return. They are the real heroes. We've been there. We saw their work and the huge impact they are doing there. Our sincere THANK YOU for sharing your energy with us. And for allowing us to promote your work within our friends, to be a bridge between these two different realities and be able to make a small contribution to your projects.
