The Butterfly Project

I have observed Ben's amazing hard work on this initiative, in several online venues. It is an excellent project, and has yielded impressive results. I have an extensive background in community involvement, both at home and abroad, and I believe the Butterfly Project is admirable and worthy of support.

I too met Ben through and have watched his project develop over quite a period of time. I am looking forward to mentoring for his vision. Thanks for inviting me, Ben.

Yes, I advocate for this Project. My first interaction with Ben was in March 2009 through the ned.com platform. He was interested in Child Aid Uganda work and we were interested in working with him on the Butterfly Project; a very unique project world wide. Ben finally made it to the Ugandan rural district - Lyantonde. Together we piloted the Butterfly project, visited the district leadership, Child Aid Uganda beneficiaries and other rural communities in dire need. The district leadership welcomed and embraced the project. We finally identified, selected and conducted an induction for the pioneers of the Butterfly Project in Uganda. With this experience working with Ben, I have witnessed than he is a very committed social entrepreneur and a man of actions and a strategic vision. With your support Ben will enable the young gifted and talented Ugandan Butterflies to become change movers and this will transform their communities. Thank you for making this project possible.

I met Ben earlier this year after becoming internet friends on Ned.com and Facebook. He took three sets of football kit for me to KJT, an awesome youth football team in Kampala, who have wider social ambitions to extend educational opportunity and develop the all-round talent of their orphans and street kids. Ben has spent weeks this year in Uganda setting up his Butterfly Project, which he intended to establish originally in Nigeria. He was accompanied on his recent visit to Kenya and Uganda by Ceris Dien from North Wales. I know her very well too as a fellow internet supporter of the Kampala Junior Team. So even if I thought I may be wrong to hold Ben in high esteem, Ceris's high opinion would be much harder to overturn! And if you were still to have any doubts, just read Ben's account of his recent visit to East Africa at http://socialenterpriseafrica.blogspot.com/ and decide for yourself!

I have met Ben and he is a great person with a good vision for the world at large the Butterfly project is just a winner
