St Marys High School, Bubulo.



Me, Tobias, the teachers, Richard and a small part of the entire class...



After completing the interviews in Bubulo and the remaining part of the thesis research in the greater Manafwa region outside Mbale, by the Kenyan border, we got an invitation to visit a high school in Bubulo.


We took a 5km walk to the High school, were approximately 50-60 students were waiting for us. You cant really imagine how dark it is inside the classroom, its a wonder that the students in the back can really see what's happening infront of the classroom.


The reason for us to go to St Marys High School was foremost becuase they wanted us to lecture the students in what we personally believe entrepreneurship is really all about.

After some 30 minutes it was time for the students to ask us question about anything. It took a long time before someone broke the ice. The questions that followed were HUGE!



How do we fight AIDS?


How do we fight Poverty?


Why do you only have a midnight sun?


How can I pay off my schoolfees?


Why are Swedish people so well-trained and big?


The big questions about AIDS and Poverty took a loooooong time to discuss and saying that AIDS is an enormous problem in the villages is an understatement.

hite people in town....


The day after Richard announced that he had started an essay competition on all high schools in the Manafwa-district, regarding Why do we need Solarpanels as a sustainable solution to the shortages in elektricity?

We can say that the visit to the St Marys High School was probably the best finish on our research in Bubulo, to meet kids that dont yet know what the result of corruption does to a country such as Uganda.

Boongaaa!
