Kiki travelling on lake

Kiki travelling on lake Bunyonyi

Kiki comes from Bunyonyi, one of the best places for tourism. She crosses the lake as she goes and leaves her home by boat.

She likes putting on life jackets to protect her while travelling on the lake. She cross the lake and pass through islands like Burumba Island. She says that it is better to travel on the lake while in the boat as it is big which makes it capable of stopping water from entering inside especially when the wind is blowing. She also said that it is risky to travel on the lake using canoes because when wind comes it makes the canoe falling down and people drawn and die from there.

Good Friday

On Good Friday 14th April 2017, different religions, that is Catholics and Protestants, organized together and moved around the town. They were carrying their crosses and were singing the songs about the death of Jesus Christ. One Reverend father acted like Jesus and they were beating him using simple sticks but not beating him seriously just demonstrating how they mistreated Jesus Christ. The Reverend who was acting like Jesus was made to carry a big cross and a man helped him to show how Simon helped Jesus to carry the cross.
