Steve Lock, Director & Trustee
“Hi there I’m Steve, one of the directors of Gulu Mission. My passion is to help young people here in the UK to realise that they can make a difference in the lives of people affected by the horrors of what’s been happening in Northern Uganda over the last twenty something years.
I’ve been taking groups of young people to Gulu to really get their hands dirty helping, doing all sorts of things from teaching English to painting classrooms, and playing “What’s the time Mr. Wolf?” with the children to building toilets! The young people have all ‘had the most amazing time’ and have come back with a different perspective on the world. Some have gone on to start major fund raising initiatives for us, even starting ‘a GMI juniors’ team others have made return trips.
Why not join us on one of our next ones?”
