0:01:42 > 0:01:46- ..in a primary school - for 280 children.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- Both the location and the work - have been a real eye-opener.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- The Namatala slum - is home to 20,000 people.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- They don't have a supply - of clean water or electricity.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- 9,000 of the slum's population - are under 15 years old.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Only 4,000 children are educated - because of the costs involved...
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- ..which include toilet paper, - school uniforms and pencils.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- They're things we take for granted.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- They're things we take for granted.- - The charity chooses carefully.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23- The children come from the poorest - families in the Namatala slum.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Child of Hope provides - free medical care for the children.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- They also provide soap, - clothes and shoes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Since we arrived, we've been working - with the Child of Hope charity.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38- We built a bathroom.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- There were washing areas - in the slums...
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- ..but they were being used - by 70 people.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- They weren't private areas.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54- We built a private bathroom - and they were very grateful.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- Over the next few days, - more construction work...
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- ..and cooking.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- First...
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- First...- - Have you heard of the Olympic Games?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Do you know sport...?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- The crew's main challenge - is to organise a mini Olympics.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- They've split the children - into five different teams.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Rachel's teaching her group - about America.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- It's called...
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Washington DC.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- Can you say that?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Can you say that?- - Washington DC.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39- Well done.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- I started volunteering - with the Local Aid charity.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- The group is called Buddies.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- The charity provides respite care - every Saturday.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- We work with children between - eight and eighteen years old...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- ..who have Down's Syndrome - or autism.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- I'd been a volunteer here - for five months...
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- ..and then they offered me a job.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Right from the beginning, really, - Rachel was shining.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- She was willing to learn - and that's important.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Very calm, confident - and in this particular service...
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- ..and for Buddies...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- ..that's extremely important.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- We work one-to-one - with the children.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- We play games, we cook, - we go shopping.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- We develop their skills - through play.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- We'll be working with children - out in Uganda.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- My work here will help me - communicate with the children.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- High five. Yay!
0:05:01 > 0:05:07- Back in the school, preparations - for the mini Olympics continue.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- They're painting flags and - learning facts about the countries.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- From the classroom, our crew - moves out into the community.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- They face another construction task.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- They're making doors - for local homes.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- The doors are in a poor condition.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35- Unfortunately, most huts have - curtains or old sheets as doors.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- If you sleep next to the door, - you may as well sleep outside.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- There's nothing stopping the wind - and rain coming in.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I might study for an apprenticeship - in carpentry!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Sometimes, eight, nine or ten people - sleep in a small hut.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- There's little room for them.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- They sleep on top of each other.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Conditions in the huts are poor.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I'll never complain - about my life again.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- While the crew continues - with the work...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- ..Ceri talks to Faith, - an 11-year-old girl.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- She has three sisters - and two brothers.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- The school only has room - for a small number of children.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- The charity has to choose - the children carefully.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- They offer a place to one child - from every family.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Five, six...
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- When Faith returns from school, - she teaches her brothers, sisters...
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- ..and friends what's she learnt.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- I like going to the Child of Hope - school because I like studies.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- What studies do you like?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- I like...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- ..writing.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Anything else you like?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Singing.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Do you sing with your friends - and your brothers and sisters?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- Yes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Why do you sing with them?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Because they also want to know - how to write.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- They even want to study.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Even though she's young, - Faith is aware that it is unfair.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- She knows she's - in a privileged position...
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- ..and she's spending time - trying to educate others.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Primary education is free here...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- ..but very few children - complete their primary education.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- Over half the girls leave school - before taking their exams.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- It's the highest percentage - in East Africa.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Women have a different role - to men here.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- Women are responsible - for cooking and cleaning the homes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Most women marry at a young age...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- ..and have their first child - before they're 18.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- They're having children when - they're still children themselves.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- If that happens in Wales...
0:08:07 > 0:08:13- ..we have our education, food, homes - and our families to help us.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Many children here are orphans.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- It's rather irresponsible to raise - children in these conditions.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- It's just...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Back to the task of making doors.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- The crew move on to another hut - where an old woman lives alone.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- The lads were hammering - and we could see the hut shaking.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- We were worried - that the walls would collapse.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- That's the last thing - we want to see...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- ..someone's house collapsing.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- It's starting to rain. - The doors need to be fitted quickly.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- But there's a problem - - the frame doesn't fit.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Oops! Oh, dear.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- The old woman looks worried.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- She looks worried?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- I'd be worried if I was here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Her wall's falling down.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- I don't think - I'd be very happy about it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- It's become a little bit - of a disaster.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- We're going to do everything - we can...
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- ..to restore the doorway - and improve its condition.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Is that a mistake? A big mistake?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- The crew have to leave - before the work is completed.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- The slum becomes - a dangerous place at night.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- They're back the following morning, - determined to complete the task.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- After we left, - they made a temporary doorway...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- ..to make the hut waterproof - overnight.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- It was nice to complete the task. We - felt guilty when we left last night.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Moses told us that the old lady - doesn't have any family...
0:10:17 > 0:10:18- ..and she begs for food.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- It was definitely worth doing.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- I live with Mam, Dad, - brother Andrew and sister Laura.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- I like singing with the choir.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- I like writing, reading - and jogging along the beach.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I work part-time in a restaurant.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- That's a great opportunity - to meet people.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Ceri's energetic, - enthusiastic and works hard.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Ceri's very warm-hearted.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- She's always there if you need - a chat. I can tell her everything.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Ceri bosses everyone at home.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- She gets the straigtheners - and hairdryer first every time.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- I'll miss her - because she helps out a lot at home.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- She has a big personality, - she works hard, she's strong willed.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- She tells it how it is - and she's very adventurous.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- She tries every experience - and she lives life to the full.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Child of Hope - has another task for our crew.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Cooking a meal for 50 people.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- First, they have to buy - the ingredients.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- There are no supermarkets here!
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- Without electricity or fridges, meat - is hung on hooks outside the shop.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Our crew isn't eager to buy it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- There are flies all over the meat, - thousands of them.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- It's making me feel rather sick.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- It's disgusting.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- I don't like 'cler' (flies).
0:12:25 > 0:12:26- You don't like what?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- You don't like what?- - 'Cler'. Flies.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I take it the flies come free - with the meat.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Or do we have to pay extra for them?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- A sick bag.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- That's disgusting.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- I'd rather go without food.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Eating meat is a rare occurrence - in the slum.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- At 2.50 per kilo, - it's too expensive to buy.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- They only eat it on special - occasions, such as Christmas Day.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Today is a special occasion.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Are you sure you don't want - to prepare the meat?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- I'll do half with you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- I'd gladly do anything else - than this.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19- These flies, they're eating things - you wouldn't even put in the bin.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- I could easily - throw that tomato away.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- We saw more flies - when we were buying the meat.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- I put a slice of onion - to one side for the bin...
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- ..and the little girl gave it back - to me because nothing goes to waste.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- I thought, oops, - it shows how much we waste.
0:13:38 > 0:13:38- Horrible.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Rachel removes little stones - from the rice...
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- ..while Iestyn enjoys - slicing the meat!
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Hold more.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52- Hold more.- - Hold, yes?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53- All of it, you can chop.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Hold it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Hold it.- - I am. Oh, sorry.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- It's slippy, yes?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- You're cooking - your first meal in Africa today...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- ..on a small stove, - in a foreign country.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Yes, cooking cow stew!
0:14:22 > 0:14:23- Ooh, yes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- All I've made at home is toast.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40- I think I'll be fine with the - physical work. I like keeping fit.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- The emotional side of the visit, - the sensitive side...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- ..I think that might - be a problem for me.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- I think Luis - will cope well out there...
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- ..especially with any construction - or manual work.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- He likes technology.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- I think he'll be upset - by some of it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- He's quite deep and won't - show straightaway what he feels.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17- He might struggle with the food. He - doesn't like the canteen food here.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- My family does a lot for me, - they cook for me.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- To be honest, I'll miss them.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- It's starting to boil over.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- How do you switch it off?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- There's no knob!
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- Supper is served.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- The locals are waiting eagerly - to taste it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Don't drop anything, Iestyn.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59- That's very nice.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00- That's very nice.- - Nice.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02- Good.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- That's good.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- Me? A good cook?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- I'm better!
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Meat costs 2.50 per kilo. - That's how much we paid.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- These people eat meat - once or twice a year.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- It's a special occasion for them.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- When I saw the meat, - I wasn't keen to cook it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- I feel guilty - for thinking it was disgusting.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- We've made a difference today - but what will they eat tomorrow?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- The first week is over - and the big day has arrived.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- Luis, Rachel and Arwel are preparing - the tasks for the mini Olympics.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- They're showing - the Child of Hope staff what to do.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- We have a wheelbarrow race, - the 100m sprint...

0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Iestyn and Ceri lead the parade - from the school, through the slum...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- ..to the playing fields.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Welcome to - the Child of Hope Olympic Games.
