To face reality, visiting is the ideal answer. For that very reason, a year ago, students from Dawlish community college planned to visit the land of many puzzles and back image theories. The purpose of the visit was to meet the people, feel the experience and learn more about Africa, but above all these students wanted to see how they could give help to the needy. Almost a year to the day after the plan was initiated back at school in Devon, students saw themselves touch down at the Entebbe international airport for their first time in Africa. Thanks to Experience Africa, the company that gave them the idea, the group was guided by Darren, group leader, and Denis Kigongo, a Ugandan working with Experience Africa in London. The students made a short visit extending to July 30, but with an interesting local travel itinerary. This would allow them to find the beauty of the country and have the chance to see different local communities. What a surprise start! The visitors began with a debating competition at Kitante Hill School, one of the local schools, where they shared ideas about the educational system, the differences and challenges of student life, and being youth.
