The big chop for Uganda!

James Darn (affectionately known to us as Jimmy D) is going to shed something very close to him for a good cause - his luscious locks (I did say locks and not looks :)

Jimmy is preparing to undergo the 'big chop' to raise funds for friends Dan and Jody Unterrheiner who are serving with a charity in northern Uganda (The East African Missionary Society).

But this funky muso isn't making it easy: his target is £1500 and he has to reach the target for the mop to flop. His mighty mane is 40cm long, so for every £37.50 he raises he will chop off one centimetre.

C'mon guys let's see what's under the mop?

Dan is bringing farming and management skills to help local people in the war-torn northern Uganda, whilst Jody is teaching in a village primary school; along with teaching English to adults.

The money that you raise will go towards three projects Dan and Jodes are working with: buying some books for the village primary school Jody teaches in (which sadly does not have one fiction book!); some children's books for a reading club for orphans and building a grass hut for children to have Sunday School in at the local village TEAMS church.
