i.HUG

The International HUG Foundation was formed based on the realization that too many children in Uganda were needlessly slipping through the cracks. We can and are doing something to help them. This blog documents our becoming and the institution of ideas into practice.

They are visible...just look




I was speaking with our newest Board Member today, Rwebiita Atucungwiire, who talked a lot about how so many of the poorest people are invisible. And when it comes to children, it is even a bigger problem.

It made me think of our project and what it takes to make children "visible." To make them students. To make them happy.

The only thought that keeps occuring in my mind is, at the very least, we know where to see these children during school hours.

Who Is That Man?


Who is that man you ask?

Why, that's Bill Dicker (aka Jane's dad)!

Bill is planning to cycle the length of Britain to raise money for i.HUG and Fegans Children's Charity. He rides from Lands End in England to John 'O Groats at the tip of Scotland. (My legs are hurting just thinking of it.) The ride is scheduled for late May and he is busy collecting sponsorships.

So what are you waiting for? You couldn't get a more inspiring or scenic ride.

If you're interested in sponsoring a portion of Bill's ride, please send an e-mail to ihug@ihugfoundation.org. Go, Bill Go!

Our goal...



Our goal: to offer a way for children to be just children. We're already achieving that in some small ways.
