The Kibale Forest Schools Program staff and U.N.I.T.E for the environment along with other environment conservation organizations gathered together to celebrate Earth Day in Bigodi.
The day started off with a football game with Nyabweya Primary School and Bigodi Schools. Of course they forgot to tell us that they would be pulling girls from the Bigodi secondary schools so it was slightly unfair but our primary girls did a fabulous and had some great saves and we only lost 6-0. I guess previous years had been 19-1 and 18-0 all won by U.N.I.T.E... am I the only one who sees a pattern here? Anyways...
After the football match, we headed over to the KFSP stand which the conservation education section of KFSP talked with kids and adults about the environment and the water project.
Patrick and I handed out STOP Malaria pictures for children to color and did a couple handwashing demos and did a few talks on Malaria with groups of children and also repaired bed nets.
It was a great busy day getting to meet other environmental conservation organizations from the Fort Portal area but getting to hang out with children who normally do not get to color or do fun activities was the best part of the day.
