Gorilla Tours
Type of Sponsorship: Donations in kind 
Gorilla Tours have been a great support to us since we went to Kisoro in 2011 to record the Batwa people. The Singing Wells team stayed at the Traveller’s Rest Hotel during that visit and since then have also stayed at the Airport Guesthouse, Entebbe and Fort Murchison, Murchison Falls National Park. We can recommend all three lodges in Uganda where we have always received a most friendly welcome and good hospitality.
We are grateful to Gorilla Tours, and in particular to Jan Willem Van De Kamp and Charles Mugoya, for their sponsorship of our Uganda 2013 field recording visit which included accommodation at the Airport Guesthouse and the use of their 4×4 truck and wonderful driver, Musa.

Institute of International Education
Type of sponsorship: Field Recording Visit, Music of the Batwa, Uganda 2011
Through our relationship with The Ford Foundation we were able to apply for a grant from the IIE to fund our field recording visit to Kisoro in south west Uganda in 2011. Here we visited 6 Batwa communities and recorded their wonderful songs and traditional dance. We were also able to tell the story of their lives since they were moved from their forest homes in order to create a National Park to protect the mountain gorilla population in the area. We would like to thank the IIE for their generous support of the project which has resulted in a wonderful catalogue of Batwa songs and dance traditions. We continue to support the Batwa communities we visited through our strong relationship with the United Organisation for Batwa Development in Uganda (UOBDU).

Type of sponsorship: donation in kind 
Thanks to Sheen Sports shop for providing footballs which we took as gifts to Uganda in 2013.

We have found that a football is an ideal and inclusive gift to offer the gathered crowd before we leave!
