A Full Weekend

On-campus students have returned from their two-week Mukono homestays (more details in a blog to come :) and in general all students are settling into the rhythm of the semester.  Classes are in full swing and students are busy with classwork, but we somehow manage to still have some fun on the weekends :)

This past Saturday, USP and Honors College students gathered on campus for SPORTS DAY.  We started early with a morning run...

   

In the afternoon we participated in a variety of activities.  We played soccer, volleyball, basketball and frisbee.  We also competed in an egg race and battled it out in tug-of-war.  

                          

     

  

On Sunday evening we traveled to Ntinda to watch a performance by the Ndere Dance Troupe.  This show features dances and musical instruments from a variety of cultural groups all over Uganda. 

                  

We even got to join in on the fun...
