Through rough terrain for the sake of service

A great welcome to all those who travelled to Kagadi for the Medical camp that was successfully concluded on Saturday 8, 2008. An immense tribute to those who made it possible through contributions and donations of all sorts, we showed once again what seperates us from the rest and stand out as knights of the less fortunate.

To those who missed, as usual, sit down and relax as i bring to you the moments;

The journey started well through the rough and rugged road to Mityana but true to our spirit, Lions spiced it with jokes and serious discussions. The jorney from Mityana to Mubende where we had lunch was very smooth. After lunch we set off to what would eventually become a test to our strength. The Mubende-Kibale- Kagadi road was a real test but as the adage goes "something interesting out of nothing", we were amazed by the beautiful landscapes and the greenery punctuated with huge rocks, true to the meaning of Kibale which means "Big Stone".

Our next stop over was at Notre Dem Girls academy where we distributed Sanitary pads, received on their behalf by the Headmistress as seen in the photo above.

We however, did not beat the time to distribute sanitary pads to one of the other chosen schools because they had already left the school by the time we arrived there.

We arrived in Kagadi safely but abit tired. This did not deter us from our aim as we went to Kagadi model primary school and distributed pads to over 100 girls amidst a synchronised way of applause......."asante sana" otherwise nicknamed ........."Asante fire".

We then continued our journey to St Mary Margret Muhorro secondary school where we were received cheerfully by students and we distributed sanitary pads and panties to over 300 students. We then returned to Kagadi town where we had dinner and retired.

In The photo left, Lion Florence...(Christened OC Pads........For laughter purposes only) and Lion Tush giving pads and panties to the girls of Kagadi Model Primary school. Below, Students of Mary Margret Muhorro listen as the "pad specialist" demonstrates on how to use the Makpads.

We woke up and had a quite good breakfast but little did we know of what task lay ahead of us. When we got to St. Ambrose hospital, the crowds were enormous as some had travelled from distant places as early as four days back before the camp.

The crowds were overwhelming(as seen from the photo down) even considering the fact that many eye surgeries had been done on friday by Lion Doctor Cillacy Tumwesigye and his tean which should have reduced the number.

The camp was opened officailly by our Immediate Past District Governor Lion Hon. Shem Bageine amidst cheers from the maltitudes of people.

The camp went on well and was officailly closed at 7:00pm after distributing free drugs to the patients.

To celebrate the success of the camp and congratulate ourselves for living true to our motto;"We serve", a barbeque was organised and i bring you some moments in photos;

And finally, for the souvenir, we crowned it all with a celebration of Lion Eleanor Bageine's birth day on sunday morning. Take a look at the video and tell me that the singer doesn't deserve a PAM Award!!!!
