Comic relief are doing a brilliant job raising awareness (and a huge amount of funds!) for some very well deserved causes in Africa and in the UK. Uganda has been featured a huge amount, for those of you who've seen it I'm sure you'll agree that some of the footage and statistics have been horrific.Look at this link for David Tennant's video about malaria

Mwenya Uganda will be working to help people exactly like this, through a mobile dental and medical health clinic service, so we can reach those people who may not even be able to afford to get to a crowded clinic like the one on the video.
If you hold a Come Dine With Me dinner party, invite 10 guests who all bring a fiver - £50 donated to Mwenya Uganda will buy 25 insecticide treated mosquito nets.
YOU can halve at least 25 people's chances of getting malaria, all from having a party, cooking some good grub and inspiring your guests to do the same thing. You'll have a great time along the way and make lots of people 'mwenya' (Lugandan for smile).
Get in touch with any of the Mwenya UK team on facebook, or email Laura on l_cuddon-large@hotmail.co.uk for ready made invites for your guests and recipe ideas.
Do you need a better excuse to have a party?
