We prepared Free lunch for 600 people through-out the night, set up tents for the heavy sunshine, welcomed 7 groups for a music, dance and drama competition (1st prize a cow worth 1.000.000 Ugx), local food stalls, hand-craft ladies and ended the day with a great Party with our local DJ!

Thanks everyone for a fantastic gala!
