"Get caught in the wave" is what's aptly woven across our “Soul Touch/Ugandan” notice board at school and that is exactly what is happening: the pupils at Wallace High School have literally started a wave of enthusiasm and excitement that is sweeping across schools, churches, homes and individuals around the world, motivating and encouraging others to make a difference and to “BE THE CHANGE”!
I can proudly say that I have had another awesome weekend full of praise and thanks for the young people at Wallace High School and Bo’ness Academy/ St Andrew’s church. Last week the two forces got together for the first time since meeting over video conferencing on skype. The gorgeous crew from Bo’ness were invited to visit Wallace High on Friday and so after kindly accepting the invitation they gave up their time to come and interview our team. 
The interviews were fantastic, packed full of information about organisations Dwelling Places and Raising up Hope for Uganda. After some nerve-racking recording the takes were edited and then aired live across the airwaves on Valley FM this morning. This has allowed more and more people to hear about the awesome work of these organisations from the voices of the young people who are committed to supporting them.
So, well done teams (in Stirling and Bo’ness) and an especially huge THANK YOU to Lilias who co-ordinates, plans, prepares, eats, sleeps and breathes working with these young people...you are amazing!
Guys, you are an example to us all that together we really are better and that united we can accomplish so much more. Also lots more exciting texts and emails have come in from people who have heard about the Water Challenge and want to become involved. Miss McHale, in Leeds, has been in touch to say her pupils have already downloaded the sponsor sheet and are taking up the challenge starting… tomorrow!
Finally I’d like to give a huge shout out to Tim and Annette Gulick, in Argentina. You guys are such a huge encouragement to Lorna and I and now to all of the young people we are working with. Thank you, we love you!
So guys, we have one week left of term to get everything ready for the “Water Challenge launch, which is taking place the first week back after summer! Keep up all the hard work and the momentum. You started the wave, invited others to get caught in it and now you have to roll with it!
It’s HUGELY exciting!
Love and blessings Miss B x
