0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I went to his house - where he lived with his gran.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- The rats are here.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54- By now, the team has moved on.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- They are on their way to meet - a group of very special women.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- NATIVE SINGING
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Janet, a primary schoolteacher, - who often helps the group...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- ..introduces them.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- In Hope Ministry - we have visitors from UK.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- In a particular part of UK - called Wales.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- They have come to visit you.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- These women form a group of 30 who - run a business making necklaces...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- ..from paper, clay and seeds.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- They also make - bags and purses from palm leaves...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- ..in order to sell to tourists.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- The team is going to help them.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Oh, gosh, look at this!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Oh, gosh, look at this!- - You are trying.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- The second one will be perfect!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- So this isn't perfect then, no?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- It's hard work and so fussy.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- It needs to be neat because - I don't think this will sell.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- As a first effort...
0:04:22 > 0:04:22- ..it's OK, yeah?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- ..it's OK, yeah?- - Yeah, that's OK.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- What's different - about this group of women...
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- ..is the fact they are all infected - with the HIV virus or AIDS.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- HIV is a condition - which affects the body's ability...
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- ..to fight against other illnesses - such as cancer and so on.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- HIV affects...
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- ..1.2 million in Uganda alone...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- ..150,000 of whom are children.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- There is no cure - for HIV or AIDS as yet...
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- ..but medication can stabilize the - virus to prolong life expectancy.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- These women have lost their husbands - to the disease...
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- ..so the household income - is reduced.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- But by establishing the business...
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- ..these women earn a wage to buy - food to strengthen the body...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- ..since the medication - makes them weak.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- The work they do here...
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- ..fits around the disease.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- They can work when they are feeling - well or they can work from home.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- They come here twice a month - and they look forward to coming.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- It's a chance for them to socialize - and share their feelings.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- It's very rare that you can tell - friends that you have the disease.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- They must feel very isolated.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Meeting others who suffer from - the same disease is a good thing...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- ..because - they don't feel so alone...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- ..and banished by society.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- I don't think it's so much - to do with their income...
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- ..it's about taking - their minds off their problems...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- ..and the sadness that they face.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- It's a very good way of finding - something to keep you busy.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- It's a good hobby.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Do you find it as a hobby?
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Yes, it is because before - they began, they had lost hope.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- When it keeps them busy, - they don't think about dying.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- When they don't think about dying, - they become healthy and happy.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- So it's more than just - making a bead and selling it?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- It's very good work that you're - doing here. It's really good.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I started volunteering - with Llais Ni.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- I volunteered - as an Urdd prefect at Glan-llyn.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I also had the chance - to go to Llangrannog.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- I also volunteer with defaid.com
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- It's a website for Anglesey's youth.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Iestyn has been a member of - Llais Ni, a young people's forum...
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- ..which allows them - to express opinion.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- He also belongs to Funky Dragon...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- ..the Welsh Assembly's - peer-led organisation.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- He works hard. He always - puts others before himself.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- He's very good - with children and young people.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- He gets them - to participate in activities.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- I think it's important for - people of all ages to volunteer...
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- ..because as a society, - we take a lot from other people.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- It's up to us as individuals - to give something back to society.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- The only boy - among the group today is Rahim.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- He's 15 years old and been suffering - from the disease since he was eight.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- His father died from HIV.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- How do you feel about all of it?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- HE SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE
0:08:15 > 0:08:20- He said he felt incredibly sad - and down when he found out...
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- ..because none of his friends - had the disease and he felt lonely.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- It affected him so much...
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- ..that he decided - to leave primary school...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- ..although education - is hard to come by.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Knowing how much children here - love going to school...
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- ..it shows - how sad he was when he found out.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Does making the beads - help you through all of it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- So when he makes these things...
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- ..and he sells them, he's able - to buy some milk to take...
0:08:59 > 0:09:05- ..because those drugs are so strong, - they need to drink and eat.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- So when he sells that, he uses - that money to buy some food...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- ..and some milk for himself.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Do you sell a lot of the beads?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- SHE INTERPRETS
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- I feel sad...
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- ..because he's obviously very young, - younger than me...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- ..and he's already - lost his father to the disease.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- His mother is suffering too.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- He looks very sad that I've - asked him and I feel very guilty...
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- ..because I think perhaps - he's learnt to live with it...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- ..and isn't often asked about it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- From the look on his face, - I think I've hit a raw nerve.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Have I made you feel sad now or - are you used to talking about it?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- For now, he doesn't feel bad.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- It was at first.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- The group has had - a productive morning making beads.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- But it's turned into a competition - to find the best.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- How many marks is that? Seven?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- And what do I get? Nine.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- What do I get?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- I didn't start it off.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- I've had "very good" six times.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- The group pleats leaves - from the palm trees.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- I've been sewing them together - to make little bags.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- It's difficult and they're really - fussy if you don't do it right.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- I had ten out of ten for that!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- She's getting ten out of ten?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- We're no friends no more.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- It's very difficult. - Initially, I couldn't do it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- I compared mine to Iestyn's - and his was better.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Hush, don't tell him!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- I haven't had "very good" once, - Iestyn.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Not at all? They laughed at yours.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- They're laughing at me.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- I think I'm a strong person - on the inside.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- I never really cry.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- She's strong and enthusiastic. - She keeps the team going.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- When we're up against it - and everyone's tired...
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- ..she's good at keeping us - all motivated.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- I think it will be a challenge - for Rachel.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Working with others and helping out - are her strengths.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- At the moment, she's helping out - with the Buddies scheme.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- She's helping out there. That'll - help her when she's in Uganda.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- I don't think the practical side - will be a problem.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- It'll be difficult - to keep the emotions in.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- I don't want to show the children - out there that I'm sad...
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- ..about their situation.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- Rahim's mother, Medina, has HIV.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- She's 39 years old - and she has three other children...
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- ..but in total, - she cares for 15 children.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- The brothers are four.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Sisters, two and three.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09- She has two grandchildren.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- And the uncle's children too.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Her situation makes me feel sad.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- I learnt how difficult her life is - because she has HIV.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- She has to carry on working - and I admire her for that.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- She earns some household income - through sewing.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- It hurts her leg joints...
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- ..when she does her sewing work.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- She also makes charcoal.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- She's taught the children - how to make charcoal.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- They can help her - when she feels ill or tired.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I asked her about her future.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I thought it was - a difficult question to ask.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- When her health deteriorates - and when she dies...
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- ..who will look after - all these children?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- That was a difficult thing to hear.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Thank you for talking to us.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Wanyala nabi. Is that right?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- It's Sunday, - an important day for Ugandans.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- 85% or the population worship - in churches on Sundays.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37- While they're in Uganda, - the Newid Byd gang will join them.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- The service lasts for three hours, - much longer than services in Wales.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- After the choir has sung, - our gang of four are invited...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- ..to showcase their musical talents.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- # Two hands praying
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- # Are in the picture
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- # By my bedside
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- # Every morning and evening
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- # Their prayer is so beautiful
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- # I know though I cannot hear it
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- # And when morning comes
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- # And dawn's light breaks
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- # By my bedside... #
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Apart from forgetting - some of the words...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- ..they sang Y Darlun - fairly effortlessly.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- # I know though I hear it not #
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- Aelwyd Chwilog and Cor Glanaethwy - have given me great experiences.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- They've expanded my horizons - and made me what I am...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- ..in terms of my friendships.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- Without Glanaethwy, I would never - have had the experiences I've had.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13- Three, four, one.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- She'll do whatever she has to do - without any fuss.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- She's chatty - and she's a great helper.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29- She's very patient.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- I think she'll cope very well.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- She copes well - with different situations.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- She socialises very well.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Back in the church, our crew - are ready to sing another song.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- # There's something about you
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- # That I can't escape from
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- # Something about you
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- # I can never forget... #
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- Oh, dear, Elin Fflur - never gets this kind of response!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Then again, maybe she does.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- It's time to leave Mbale.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Our crew - are heading north to Kumi...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- ..and the village of Ogosoi.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- 80% of Ugandans are farmers. - Most grow crops.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Very few breed animals.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- The Dolen Ffermio charity - is trying to change that.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- The Newid Byd gang - are here to help.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- You're welcome to Ogosoi.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Ogosoi.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- ..on land owned by Robert, - his wife Opio, and their three boys.
0:18:16 > 0:18:23- Over this way, we have the structure - which is the goat house...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- ..which we are going to construct.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Wow.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Emmanuel goes on to explain - what they have to do.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- The foundations are ready...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- ..but the aim is to turn - this structure...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- ..into a suitable home - for the best goats.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Have you got a ladder - to reach the top?
0:18:46 > 0:18:52- We have to make a ladder - for doing the cutting eventually.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Oh, you cut... Oh, of course.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- We'll make a ladder.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- We'll make a ladder.- - We'll have to make ladders.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- How long do we have to build this?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- When you're hard working, - this thing could be finished today.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- If you don't finish today, - it means that you are probably...
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Slow?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Today?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- I know that we have - two, three days to do this.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Tuesday, Wednesday, - Thursday we should be finished.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40- I'm not sure the crew can cope - with building a goat shed.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- The intention is build - a shed to house goats...
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- ..as an example - for other farmers to follow.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- This is what they should do to - get the best out of their animals.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- If we make a mess of it...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- ..it won't stand as a good example.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- We have to do a good job.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Mam was raised on a farm - but I'm a townie!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- I can't wait to face - a new challenge.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- When I was younger, - my uncle had a farm.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- That might come in handy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- I visited a farm during a primary - school trip! Does that count?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- That was a long time ago.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- I'm very inexperienced.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- We have three days - to complete the shed.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- I'm looking forward to the task.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- I hope the team all work well - together to build the shed.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- When I heard I'd been chosen...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- ..I was in shock, - I didn't know what to do.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Luis.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Being part of the Newid Byd team - means so much to me.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- I can help people out in Uganda.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- I can improve their lives.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01- That's great.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- I'm looking forward - to building the goat shed...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- ..for the local community.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- The local farmers - will be very happy with the shed.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- I want to do something - constructive with my hands.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- I want to help make a difference - in the community.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32- Before building, the crew find out - how the goats are presently kept...
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- ..in the traditional way.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- This building is actually a kitchen.
0:21:39 > 0:21:47- It's a veranda, it's a shed, - it's where the goats are tethered.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- They are tethered - on the poles of the house.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- The way they keep goats isn't ideal.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- They utilise the same building - they use for cooking.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- They use the veranda - as shade for the goats.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- They're tethered on poles.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- The shade is limited since they use - straw from the roof as fuel.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- The shade disappears as they - remove more straw from the roof.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Back at the foundations, - the work continues.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- This shed is suitable - for keeping goats.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30- It's off the ground. There are slats - between the wood and the ground.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- All the dirt falls underneath - and can be cleared away.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Air circulation is improved - and it doesn't feel cramped inside.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- We're building a goat shed - that's higher.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- Guttering around the roof will - help collect rainwater in a tank.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- That will provide a source of water.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Which one? Two metres?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- To be honest, - I don't think it's possible.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- We've been here for four hours - and not done a lot.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- We're behind time. - The biggest problem is the nails.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- The nails are made - out of scrap metal.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- When we knock them in, they bend - and it makes the job harder to do.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- I don't think we'll complete it.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- They said it would take a day - to complete if we worked hard.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- We've had challenges...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- ..but we'll work harder tomorrow.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Blummin' Nora.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44- Next week, more building, painting, - sawing and hammering nails.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Is my face black? No?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Will they manage - to complete the shed?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- And one of them is celebrating - a special birthday.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- My mother!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- You can watch the crew in Uganda - and learn about the projects...
