18/02/2024- Thought of the day

Alumni garden party

Issac a former NVI student has been with us all fortnight visiting his sponsor who is on this year’s team and making himself very useful helping with the arrival and registration of our new intake of students. He also helped with interviews of students on behalf of ugandaid to prepare for our work back in the UK and put on his old clothes to help us complete this years painting project.

His final task and one that was his idea was to invite former students back to join staff from NVI and the Ugandaid team. This is the second year this has happened and even more ex students turned up than last year. We set up at our hotel outside in the gardens and served drinks and biscuits whilst everyone arrived, chatted and generally caught up. The afternoon culminated in Issac fascilitating testimonials for several students who were more than willing to share their stories. All of them had greatly benefited for their time at NVI and were extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to better themselves by being sponsored by Ugandaid.

All in all, the afternoon was a great success which ended with the cutting and sharing of a superb cake designed and made by Joshua who runs his cake making business form Jinja. lets hope that even more ex students join us next year with their inspirational testimonials.
