A Manchester based Training and Recruitment consultany (Total Excellence Centre) is boosting the funds of a firefighters' charity to enable a team of volunteers, to deliver a fire engine and help ex-child soldiers in Uganda.

The trip to East Africa is one of a dozen organised by Staffordshire Emergency Services Humanitarian Aid Association (SESHAA) since it was founded in 1995 and will cost over £36,000.  The cost includes shipping two fire-fighting vehicles to Kampala (Uganda); one fully equipped vehicle will go to the town of Impigi and one water carrier will be taken for use in a water provision project for several Aids Clinics in the area. 

Michelle Mercer, Managing Director of Total Excellence Centre, said; "We provide training to the Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service and heard about their charity and the successes over the past 13 years in Bosnia, Albania, Poland and Malawi.  Their work is amazing, they have trained over 500 volunteer fire fighters in countries where they are often untrained and ill equipped to do their job.  We're absolutely delighted to be involved in this project directly by making a financial donation £3,000 in cash along with donations of clothes and toys from other people we know and work with; it's our way of trying to make a difference."
