We had visited the school,met the students and talked to
some of the staff.Only one thing was left, to formalise our visit to the school .It was time to meet all teachers and the administration. We talked
about what we were doing there and about Uganda and life there.
While in Sweden I confirmed that people there know very little
about Uganda.The older ones know a little bit of Iddi Amin,but that is
all.You might as well lie to many that Amin is still president and they will
fall for it.So we made a presentation on Uganda.Where it is located,Climate,size
and population,economic activities,etc.It is a bit awkward to say
“Uganda is a country in East Africa”and the rest as if it is some unknown land.However,I felt
patriotic talking about my country.

Later,
we visited neighbouring schools,primary schools.How excited the kids were
listening to us tell them about Uganda!How proud I felt showing Stephen Kiprotich win Gold at the Olympics!They also asked us
to show some Ugandan music and we chose Watoto children’s choir.We played the
song ‘beautiful Africa’. How excited they all were!Am positive that some of the
people we talked to will visit Uganda some day.
