Think People Think Story is a way for Tommy and the team to utilise their creativity and photography to inspire and empower every human they meet to feel a little less afraid and a lot more self-confident, comfortable, and positive within themselves and their lives.
The relationships forged over many years of adventures around the world bring Think People Think Story together!
CLARE.
Clare is a wonderful human with a keen eye for detail and a natural ability to connect with people. This is one reason the photographs of her human interactions are so beautiful and real.

With a wide network crossing creative genres, industries, countries and continents, Clare keeps Tommy inline and the Team on track.

Along with his wife Edith Muganda owns and operates Buja Bean Coffee, the first local coffee shack in Buajagali Village launched with the funds from our groups staying with his family.
His family host our guests and there is no evening meal like the one at Mama Mugandas Home.
KIBOMBO.
Moses… more commonly known by his second name, Kibombo (chi—bom—bo), has been part of our village team since 2020.
He is a part of hosting and supporting our groups during their time in the Village. His humor, energy, and knowledge ensure the groups get what they need, and where they need to be.
In 2022 we collaborated to set up Nile River Paddle Boarding, a small local company which is now owned and operated by Moses.

Ambassadors
TEAM. 25
Steve, Remi, Jamie, Arnold and Ryan took on the challenge of delivering the 2025 Sleepwell Project in November.
The month-long trip delivered more than just mattresses, we enjoyed the heaviest rains whilst tenting out on safari in the middle of a hippos nightime feeding ground, and spent many days floating along the Nile in boats, boards and kayaks.
Each trip is unique, each adventure personal, every year exceptional.
TEAM. 22
Chris, Joe, Angus, Nick, Steve, and Ross signed up for our month-long adventure through November 2022, Joining our Ugandan Team to deliver Sleepwell 2022 to 123 families across 2 communities.
As part of their month-long adventure, they lived with our local host families, took on the River Nile, swung the rope swing, battled traffic, rode Boda Boda bikes, munched chicken on a stick, watched the World Cup, made countless friends, bought crocs at the local market and experienced more in a month than most humans might in a lifetime.
Welcome to the team.
Team. 24
Ross, Steve, Devan joined Tommy and the team in January 2024 to deliver 143 mattresses as part of The Sleepwell Project.
While Ross and Steve returned for their second trip, Dev got straight into his first Ugandan adventure. Being passionate watermen they enjoyed long days on the rapids of the White Nile River, both in kayaks and on paddle boards.
We all enjoyed organising and competing in the Nile River Festival along with 50+ local and international water babies.
NATHAN & EMMA. UK
Nathan took his first steps on Ugandan soil in 2018, and a month-long trip got him hooked! He is a vital part of our team and is often drafted in to share his knowledge and go over plans for projects and trips.
Nathan’s 3rd trip saw him introduce his cousin Emma to Uganda, an amazing trip full of adventures, photography and Safari!
