Day of Cultural Engagement - Uganda

On Wednesday, our Uganda delegation spent the day with our host, Father Joseph Luzindana, learning all about Ugandan life and culture. We learned how to harvest and cook Matoke (green bananas which are a major food staple in Uganda). Father Joe also arranged for us to learn about traditional African religions, The Catholic Ugandan Martyrs, Ugandan crafts and Ugandan dress. We spent much of the day at the St. Joseph's institute, an extension of the YES center, where our students had time to laugh, dance and interact with local youth. It was an amazing day!!
