The “Soap bubbles against coronavirus” initiative is sparking interest in other African nations as well. Indeed a group of young Ugandan decided to come together and create a group of volunteers to be able to bring their help to orphanages, to children and to anyone who is vulnerable in Uganda. These young Ugandans have thus begun to organize themselves and exchange information and experiences with the team in Sierra Leone. Thanks to this commitment, they managed to register their association “R-Evolution for the Children and Vulnerable” with the Ugandan authorities, and will soon be able to bring their help to those most in need. The willingness to commit for their people, their organizational capacities, their ownership of the initiative is really exciting.
