Pennod 3 Newid Byd

-Subtitles

-Newid Byd is back.

-This year, the crew are in Uganda.

-The first task was helping people

-and children in a Namatala slum.

-The Newid Byd adventure has begun.

-Uganda, a country in the middle

-of Africa, right on the Equator.

-The capital city is Kampala.

-Almost 35m people live in Uganda.

-The Newid Byd gang have arrived.

-Here are the four.

-I'm wearing my gloves.

-From Anglesey,

-Iestyn from Llanerch-y-Medd.

-I don't like anything that pecks.

-Rachel from Pontarddulais.

-I'm sweating pints.

-From Rhoose,

-in the Vale of Glamorgan, Luis.

-I hope my feelings

-don't get the better of me.

-Ceri from Pwllheli.

-Leading the group

-is Arwel from Ruthin.

-The crew have embarked on

-a five-hour journey east to Mbale.

-They're working in the Namatala slum

-on the outskirts of the city...

-..in a primary school

-for 280 children.

-Both the location and the work

-have been a real eye-opener.

-The Namatala slum

-is home to 20,000 people.

-They don't have a supply

-of clean water or electricity.

-9,000 of the slum's population

-are under 15 years old.

-Only 4,000 children are educated

-because of the costs involved...

-..which include toilet paper,

-school uniforms and pencils.

-They're things we take for granted.

-They're things we take for granted.

-

-The charity chooses carefully.

-The children come from the poorest

-families in the Namatala slum.

-Child of Hope provides

-free medical care for the children.

-They also provide soap,

-clothes and shoes.

-Since we arrived, we've been working

-with the Child of Hope charity.

-We built a bathroom.

-There were washing areas

-in the slums...

-..but they were being used

-by 70 people.

-They weren't private areas.

-We built a private bathroom

-and they were very grateful.

-Over the next few days,

-more construction work...

-..and cooking.

-First...

-First...

-

-Have you heard of the Olympic Games?

-Do you know sport...?

-The crew's main challenge

-is to organise a mini Olympics.

-They've split the children

-into five different teams.

-Rachel's teaching her group

-about America.

-It's called...

-Washington DC.

-Can you say that?

-Can you say that?

-

-Washington DC.

-Well done.

-I started volunteering

-with the Local Aid charity.

-The group is called Buddies.

-The charity provides respite care

-every Saturday.

-We work with children between

-eight and eighteen years old...

-..who have Down's Syndrome

-or autism.

-I'd been a volunteer here

-for five months...

-..and then they offered me a job.

-Right from the beginning, really,

-Rachel was shining.

-She was willing to learn

-and that's important.

-Very calm, confident

-and in this particular service...

-..and for Buddies...

-..that's extremely important.

-We work one-to-one

-with the children.

-We play games, we cook,

-we go shopping.

-We develop their skills

-through play.

-We'll be working with children

-out in Uganda.

-My work here will help me

-communicate with the children.

-High five. Yay!

-Back in the school, preparations

-for the mini Olympics continue.

-They're painting flags and

-learning facts about the countries.

-From the classroom, our crew

-moves out into the community.

-They face another construction task.

-They're making doors

-for local homes.

-The doors are in a poor condition.

-Unfortunately, most huts have

-curtains or old sheets as doors.

-If you sleep next to the door,

-you may as well sleep outside.

-There's nothing stopping the wind

-and rain coming in.

-I might study for an apprenticeship

-in carpentry!

-Sometimes, eight, nine or ten people

-sleep in a small hut.

-There's little room for them.

-They sleep on top of each other.

-Conditions in the huts are poor.

-I'll never complain

-about my life again.

-While the crew continues

-with the work...

-..Ceri talks to Faith,

-an 11-year-old girl.

-She has three sisters

-and two brothers.

-The school only has room

-for a small number of children.

-The charity has to choose

-the children carefully.

-They offer a place to one child

-from every family.

-Five, six...

-When Faith returns from school,

-she teaches her brothers, sisters...

-..and friends what's she learnt.

-I like going to the Child of Hope

-school because I like studies.

-What studies do you like?

-I like...

-..writing.

-Anything else you like?

-Singing.

-Do you sing with your friends

-and your brothers and sisters?

-Yes.

-Why do you sing with them?

-Because they also want to know

-how to write.

-They even want to study.

-Even though she's young,

-Faith is aware that it is unfair.

-She knows she's

-in a privileged position...

-..and she's spending time

-trying to educate others.

-Primary education is free here...

-..but very few children

-complete their primary education.

-Over half the girls leave school

-before taking their exams.

-It's the highest percentage

-in East Africa.

-Women have a different role

-to men here.

-Women are responsible

-for cooking and cleaning the homes.

-Most women marry at a young age...

-..and have their first child

-before they're 18.

-They're having children when

-they're still children themselves.

-If that happens in Wales...

-..we have our education, food, homes

-and our families to help us.

-Many children here are orphans.

-It's rather irresponsible to raise

-children in these conditions.

-It's just...

-Back to the task of making doors.

-The crew move on to another hut

-where an old woman lives alone.

-The lads were hammering

-and we could see the hut shaking.

-We were worried

-that the walls would collapse.

-That's the last thing

-we want to see...

-..someone's house collapsing.

-It's starting to rain.

-The doors need to be fitted quickly.

-But there's a problem -

-the frame doesn't fit.

-Oops! Oh, dear.

-The old woman looks worried.

-She looks worried?

-I'd be worried if I was here.

-Her wall's falling down.

-I don't think

-I'd be very happy about it.

-It's become a little bit

-of a disaster.

-We're going to do everything

-we can...

-..to restore the doorway

-and improve its condition.

-Is that a mistake? A big mistake?

-The crew have to leave

-before the work is completed.

-The slum becomes

-a dangerous place at night.

-They're back the following morning,

-determined to complete the task.

-After we left,

-they made a temporary doorway...

-..to make the hut waterproof

-overnight.

-It was nice to complete the task. We

-felt guilty when we left last night.

-Moses told us that the old lady

-doesn't have any family...

-..and she begs for food.

-It was definitely worth doing.

-I live with Mam, Dad,

-brother Andrew and sister Laura.

-I like singing with the choir.

-I like writing, reading

-and jogging along the beach.

-I work part-time in a restaurant.

-That's a great opportunity

-to meet people.

-Ceri's energetic,

-enthusiastic and works hard.

-Ceri's very warm-hearted.

-She's always there if you need

-a chat. I can tell her everything.

-Ceri bosses everyone at home.

-She gets the straigtheners

-and hairdryer first every time.

-I'll miss her

-because she helps out a lot at home.

-She has a big personality,

-she works hard, she's strong willed.

-She tells it how it is

-and she's very adventurous.

-She tries every experience

-and she lives life to the full.

-Child of Hope

-has another task for our crew.

-Cooking a meal for 50 people.

-First, they have to buy

-the ingredients.

-There are no supermarkets here!

-Without electricity or fridges, meat

-is hung on hooks outside the shop.

-Our crew isn't eager to buy it.

-There are flies all over the meat,

-thousands of them.

-It's making me feel rather sick.

-It's disgusting.

-I don't like 'cler' (flies).

-You don't like what?

-You don't like what?

-

-'Cler'. Flies.

-I take it the flies come free

-with the meat.

-Or do we have to pay extra for them?

-A sick bag.

-That's disgusting.

-I'd rather go without food.

-Eating meat is a rare occurrence

-in the slum.

-At 2.50 per kilo,

-it's too expensive to buy.

-They only eat it on special

-occasions, such as Christmas Day.

-Today is a special occasion.

-Are you sure you don't want

-to prepare the meat?

-I'll do half with you.

-I'd gladly do anything else

-than this.

-These flies, they're eating things

-you wouldn't even put in the bin.

-I could easily

-throw that tomato away.

-We saw more flies

-when we were buying the meat.

-I put a slice of onion

-to one side for the bin...

-..and the little girl gave it back

-to me because nothing goes to waste.

-I thought, oops,

-it shows how much we waste.

-Horrible.

-Rachel removes little stones

-from the rice...

-..while Iestyn enjoys

-slicing the meat!

-Hold more.

-Hold more.

-

-Hold, yes?

-All of it, you can chop.

-Hold it.

-Hold it.

-

-I am. Oh, sorry.

-It's slippy, yes?

-You're cooking

-your first meal in Africa today...

-..on a small stove,

-in a foreign country.

-Yes, cooking cow stew!

-Ooh, yes.

-All I've made at home is toast.

-I think I'll be fine with the

-physical work. I like keeping fit.

-The emotional side of the visit,

-the sensitive side...

-..I think that might

-be a problem for me.

-I think Luis

-will cope well out there...

-..especially with any construction

-or manual work.

-He likes technology.

-I think he'll be upset

-by some of it.

-He's quite deep and won't

-show straightaway what he feels.

-He might struggle with the food. He

-doesn't like the canteen food here.

-My family does a lot for me,

-they cook for me.

-To be honest, I'll miss them.

-It's starting to boil over.

-How do you switch it off?

-There's no knob!

-Supper is served.

-The locals are waiting eagerly

-to taste it.

-Don't drop anything, Iestyn.

-That's very nice.

-That's very nice.

-

-Nice.

-Good.

-That's good.

-Me? A good cook?

-I'm better!

-Meat costs 2.50 per kilo.

-That's how much we paid.

-These people eat meat

-once or twice a year.

-It's a special occasion for them.

-When I saw the meat,

-I wasn't keen to cook it.

-I feel guilty

-for thinking it was disgusting.

-We've made a difference today

-but what will they eat tomorrow?

-The first week is over

-and the big day has arrived.

-Luis, Rachel and Arwel are preparing

-the tasks for the mini Olympics.

-They're showing

-the Child of Hope staff what to do.

-We have a wheelbarrow race,

-the 100m sprint...

-..and a bouncy ball and spoon

-relay race.

-Iestyn and Ceri lead the parade

-from the school, through the slum...

-..to the playing fields.

-Welcome to

-the Child of Hope Olympic Games.

-Who remembers the facts

-about the countries?

-We are Cymru.

-Uganda.

-Uganda.

-

-Argentina.

-The USA.

-Jamaica.

-Buenos Aires.

-Washington DC.

-Kampala.

-Barack Obama.

-Come on, Cymru! Hooray!

-I was happy

-with the Opening Ceremony.

-Rachel and I spent a long time

-teaching them the facts.

-It was incredible to see

-the community's response.

-Everyone was laughing and singing.

-It was nice to see

-everyone coming together.

-My main interests

-are acting and performing...

-..in Theatr Fach, Llangefni.

-This is where I started.

-I'm a stage manager

-for the latest production.

-Outside the theatre,

-I'm a member of Aelwyd Yr Ynys.

-We compete in eisteddfodau.

-I enjoy it very much.

-He's very diplomatic.

-He knows how to treat people.

-You'll have a lot of fun with him.

-He's won many awards and been

-recognised for his work at school.

-He does a lot of voluntary work

-locally.

-Iestyn's a lively character. He

-participates in many social events.

-He mixes well with others.

-He throws himself

-into everything he does.

-OK.

-The games have started

-and competition is fierce.

-Go, go, go, go.

-The games are good.

-I enjoyed playing with the tyres.

-The games are OK.

-We are very happy this morning.

-We enjoyed being the group of Wales.

-When the children had finished

-competing, the staff had their turn.

-Some of our crew joined in.

-Come on, Iestyn Bolt.

-All the male members

-of Child of Hope raced with me.

-They were so fast.

-I was fourth or fifth.

-They're very quick, that's for sure.

-Go!

-What about the girls?

-Rachel joins in.

-I didn't think I stood a chance

-but I won the race.

-The children

-were really chuffed for me.

-They ran up and shouted, "You're

-a champion, you're a champion."

-That was nice.

-It's time for the closing ceremony.

-There are medals

-for the main winners...

-..including Mark, Iestyn's friend.

-We wondered if we'd done the right

-thing painting all those flags...

-..but today helped

-bring everything together.

-Come on, Cymru! Hooray.

-# Hey, Missy Vicky

-# You are welcome

-# I'm from Uganda

-# You are welcome #

-The week is over. It's time

-to say goodbye to the pupils.

-That's difficult and emotional

-for some of our crew.

-# You are welcome #

-You are most welcome.

-We wish you a happy journey...

-..back home.

-The conversation I had with Mark

-will live long in my memory.

-That was an emotional moment for me.

-His mother died of HIV at a young

-age. He doesn't know his father.

-We have nothing to complain about.

-Ten people shared a small hut.

-They have one meal a day.

-When you're here, you smell and see

-the horrible surroundings.

-It changes your perspective.

-You can't believe the poverty here.

-Oh, gosh. Moses was crying.

-I was like, "Why are you crying?"

-"You're leaving me."

-We've given them happiness for a

-short time and taught them a little.

-Unless people are willing to change,

-their world will stay the same.

-They've changed our mindset.

-Nothing will change unless

-other people change their ways.

-Next week,

-our crew will be working with beads.

-As a first effort, it's OK.

-And it's time to get the goat.

-The crew take on the challenge of

-building a goat shed in a few days.
