Graduation at Kabale University

Kiki on graduation day
Hello I am Kiki. I study at Kabale University. On 4th of November 2016 Kabale University was celebrating the 10th graduation at Kikungiri hill.

The graduates were very smart whereby they put on graduation gowns.

Many people came to witness the graduation especially the parents and relatives of the graduates.

The president of Uganda His Excellence Yoweri Kaguta Museveni also came to witness the function. Security officers did not allow Pele to picture the president. So you will be satisfied with a picture of Kiki who expects to graduate in 2018!

Kiki and Pele buying construction materials

To start construction of unit two Kiki and Pele went to buy materials.

Loading bricks
People loading bricks into the truck

Kiki and Pele purchases bricks from Konyo in Kabale District. These bricks made in Konyo are good and cannot easily break because the soil is clay.

When the truck reaches the place where the bricks are, many people who make the bricks rash to load them into the truck and start fighting each other to load.


Sand holes

Kiki and Pele purchases sand from Katuna.The place is so interesting with deep holes where people extract sand from. When Kiki reached there she was amazed to see people in holes. But the place was also nice to pose for special pictures.

Buying timber

Kiki and Pele always buys timbers from Bugongi. There are several people who work in timber and carpentry. Kiki bought 6” by 2” which means timbers of 6 inches broad and 2 inches thick.
   
Adults and children at work
Child labour

Pele went with Justus to buy hardcore as Kiki was at the university. Mothers and their small children were busy to make aggregates out of the rock. Children brought the aggregates down from the hill carrying them in old jerrycans on their heads. They had to work on a rather high speed and they looked tired. We call it 'child labour' and that is an abuse.
