It was a half day program every day then after a 3 kms village walk from St. Peters School to Dana Hotel passing through ghetto areas of Nsambya.
Day 3 was a bit easier after getting experience from the first day of workshops, this time they were a little bit of disturbance from the primary one pupils who wanted to join the gymnastics classes but were controlled all time they tried to come in. After the morning session and breakfast Nicoline and Cecilie visited Kisa children’s centre it’s a small school in kawempe 5 kms from city center (Kampala)

Day 5 it was nice day because after our daily routine at St. Peter’s school ,we took a taxi back to hotel where we found a surprise especially me Livingstone to see Mr. Esben sitting in hotel Garden having a bottle bell beer. It was a surprise because I didn’t know that he was coming to Uganda. We were very happy to see him lots of joy lol we enjoyed lunch together. Then in afternoon a short walk from hotel to Kansanga visiting the local market and back to hotel for a dinner as we prepared for our last day program at St. Peter’s that was Saturday morning.
