Rathdowney Central Brand Hub in conjunction with "UGAADA" is appealing to all people of Laois to gather any of their old GAA gear, be it jerseys, hurleys, sliotars, boots to send to schools in Uganda.
UGAANDA was set up after two school teachers in the African nation came across a youtube video of Hurling and fell in love with the sport. Cultec in Meath started off the campaign and the appeal has now become a nationwide initiative.
