Each year Livingstone International University holds a Cultural Gala where the students celebrate their tribal backgrounds and share dancing, drama and food. This is our sponsored student Joyce acting the part of a mother-in-law! She is wearing a traditional gomesi – the traditional dress for Bugandan and Basogan women.
Milton has sent further photo’s of the fields and gardens around Kyemula showing that crops are growing well – here the maize has been interplanted with beans.
. And here are some of the beehives in a eucalyptus grove – 3.5 kilos of honey has been harvested but more was left for the bees to eat themselves to encourage bigger yields next year.
The new building to extend the accommodation in the Community Home is complete
Milton planned to formally open it with a party after church on Easter Sunday – the bed frames were delivered on Good Friday.
And on Easter Sunday after the service at the church there was a housewarming party to officially open the building. You can see and read more about the build in the separate update
We would like to thank Emilies’s Charities for part funding the new accommodation – we could not have completed this building at this time without their input
Jackie School has entered the District Athletics Competition for the first time, as well as the children chosen to compete all the children in P1-P7 went to watch. With fifteen other school involved there were as Milton said, ‘thousands and thousands of people there!’ The logistics of the day were complex, on top of the travelling each school had to take and cook their own food. Milton was so busy keeping an eye on all the spectating children that he was unable to photograph the races but was pleased to report that three children from Jackie School will be part of the twelve strong team going forward to the next round of competition. Not bad for first time entrants! You may spot Joshua , 4th from left in the top picture on the left – we were delighted there were special races for those with disabilities and he was keen to compete!
It was then back to life as usual as the term ended with exams and and a final assembly
