Ziz York, from Inverness, Scotland, said the unusual holiday was meaningful for her children Nia, nine, and Robyn, eight. Ziz who works for the charity Teams4U in Uganda, paid for her kids to go on the trip with her.
She said, "Before we went to Uganda, my daughters had been complaining that we're so poor because they'd seen friends get holidays to Disney World or getting an Xbox for their birthdays and things like that. I turned round and said that you have a roof over your head; we have change in our pockets; we can buy pretty much what we want in a supermarket; you have freedom of movement; we are in the top five percent richest in the world."
The kids did not believe their mother, saying they didn't have a big house or servants, so Ziz decided to show them the conditions which some in Uganda are forced to live in. She said, "We do live in a comfortable condition, so Uganda was mind-blowing for them. I think the biggest eye-opener for them was just the lack of clothing. They were seeing children that were a quarter dressed because their clothes were that ragged. They saw the lack of basic supplies. The Ugandan kids didn't have pens, paper, underwear, and a lot of them didn't have shoes. There were no toys."
Although Nia and Robyn did not see some kids lack of nutrition in the country, or those dying from malaria, Ziz said they were given enough insight to understand why Uganda needs help. She added, "I wish more British people could get that point."
