IFS Fly Rowing Boat to Uganda for Charity Record Breaking Row

The photos below illustrate the rowing boat being loaded onto an IFS vehicle for onward airfreighting to Uganda and the boat in Uganda where local man Ian Harvey made a "world record breaking row" across Lake Victoria, the second largest fresh water lake in the world. It was all in aid of the charity "Fields of Life", raising money to build a school and complete a hospital in Uganda.

This is the first time that an individual rower has ever attempted to cross Lake Victoria in a small boat and Ian, will be one of the oldest 'single scullers' to have ever set out on a journey of this type for charity. The BBC followed Ians exploits across the crocodile and hippo infested waters of Lake Victoria and hope to air a documentary on his exploits on BBC2 NI later this year.
