On my first visit to Kampala
Pupils of Hoima Public Primary School in Western Uganda recently came to Kampala, for a one-day visit. For many of them, who had never been to the city center, it was an experience that would never be forgotten. <b>Carol Natukunda</b> spoke to some of them

I have been to Kampala before, but never had a chance of visiting interesting places. Moreover, I was so young; I didn’t know where we were going. I just had my parents mentioning that we were heading to the city. My ambition is to be a policewoman like my father. But I don’t know if the job would involve as much touring, as we have had today. I advise teenagers to be faithful to God.

I had never been here, it was great visiting The New Vision offices and Hot Loaf Bakery specifically, which gave us some loaves of bread.

I came to Kampala when I was much younger. My family and I had come to visit my auntie. But this tour was particular special, especially looking at The New Vision headquarters.

Looking at Lake Victoria physically was the one thing that I always dreamed of. I had always seen it on a map, as the largest lake in East Africa, and may be on TV. This is my first time in Kampala.

I always wondered how a capital city looked like, but more so, Entebbe International Airport. I saw the aeroplanes; I never imagined they were so big.

In Hoima, there aren’t as many vehicles as there are in Kampala. I was so surprised to see them. May be everyone owns a car!

I have enjoyed my first tour, and I hope one day, one time I will get a chance of coming back. I had never been to Kampala. If I had had a chance of visiting some of my age mates here, I would give them one message; To abstain from sex and respect their parents or guardians.

This is my first time in the city. I cannot wait to tell my family about it. Hot Loaf has given us bread, and I am very grateful. We looked at how stories are written in The New Vision.
