Pele on mission in Kabale

This is the 8 time that I travel to Kabale to work on the project. This time the main objectives are:

1-opening the classes and sanitation facilities at PROUD Village;

2-write a new time table and work out a curriculum for our children.

To open PROUD Village we need first to provide water and electricity. And to welcome the children we need to compose a new time table. Before the children were in a nursery school program. The focus was on play and feel well. Now they are becoming older and we will put more attention on skills training.

The names of the 3 volcanic mountains in Kisoro

In Kisoro there are three volcanic mountains which are Muhabura, Gahinga and Sabinyo. These three mountains their names have meanings: Muhabura means guide; Gahinga means being short and small; Sabinyo means teeth because its structures resemble the teeth like that of an old man.

Activities in Mgahinga national park and categories of visitors

The first activity is mountain hiking on Mount Gahinga. The second activity is Gorilla tracking in Mgahinga. In Mgahinga national park there are ten gorillas which are used to people and can be tracked. These ten gorillas have the head of the family called silverback. There is also Golden monkey tracking. It is called Golden monkey because of its golden colour. There is also bird watching like spotting Rwenzori truckle. It was called so because it was first sighted at Rwenzori.

There are different categories of visitors and amounts paid for gorilla tracking. Foreign non residents pay 600 dollars per person; East Africans pay 250.000 Ugandan shillings per person what means less then a 100 dollars.

How people of Kabale enjoy Christmas

Most people in Kabale contribute money from January to December. They make groups such that they can raise huge amounts of money.

They buy bulls which they normally slaughter on 24th of December. Men slaughter while their wives are preparing matooke, rice and Irish potatoes to eat with the meat.

After eating from the place they are slaughtering from they share meat equally to take it home.
