Nienke and Ilse
For the past six weeks, our school in Kitgum had the pleasure of hosting two Dutch students. We first met Nienke and her father at UKEF's annual Family Fundraising BBQ in September. After listening to the presentation, Nienke came to us with her father and told us that she was eager to travel to Kitgum to volunteer at the school. Just three weeks later, Nienke and her friend Ilse boarded a flight to Kitgum. Ilse has since returned to the Netherlands, but Nienke was rejoined by her father last week. Together they will stay for a few more weeks to explore Uganda and ride bikes. We look forward to hearing their stories and sharing them with our supporters in early 2025. In the meantime, below are some impressions of their time in Kitgum.
