That this House celebrates 20 years of the Saintfield Christmas Charity Ride, founded in 2007; commends the organisers for their commitment and dedication to bringing together riders, volunteers, businesses, and communities from across Northern Ireland to raise money for communities in Uganda; notes with gratitude the generosity of volunteers, spectators and sponsors willing to give money for those in need; recognises the significant expansion of the Charity Ride as the journey began with raising money for children in Uganda through Rock Ministries Northern Ireland Trust to becoming a registered charity this year; highlights the charities vision for every child to have access to education, every family to have the opportunity to prosper, and every individual to be able to fulfil their God-given potential; supports the building of the Karumba Model Village in Karumba and the plans to build a public library, computer resource centre, school, sports ground, and other related facilities; and calls on the UK Government to recognise the valuable contribution of charity events such as the Saintfield Christmas Charity Ride in supporting communities in Uganda and promoting the importance of international community development.
