Day 5 it was nice day because after our daily routine at St. Peter’s school ,we took a taxi back to hotel where we found a surprise especially me Livingstone to see Mr. Esben sitting in hotel Garden having a bottle bell beer. It was a surprise because I didn’t know that he was coming to Uganda. We were very happy to see him lots of joy lol we enjoyed lunch together. Then in afternoon a short walk from hotel to Kansanga visiting the local market and back to hotel for a dinner as we prepared for our last day program at St. Peter’s that was Saturday morning. It was time of sadness because children were still wanted to enjoy the air track. The session ended with handing over the 2 t shirts as souvenirs to a teacher who was in charge of the all week program with us a red and T-shirt with Haslev logo and Black T-shirt with street Gymnastics logo.
