Testimonials
Excellent! Very talented and engaged our students. He looked for their subtle responses and built upon them! The students truly enjoyed his program/activity.
Principal, Bancroft VPF
Students and teachers were actively engaged and were taught an understanding of Uganda's culture through drum and dance.
(Ssuuna) actively went out of his way to work with a student who has a foot injury and is on a scooter. He allowed her to move up and be a part of the activity although she was limited with range of motion.
