I have learnt a lot from Ekisakaate
Jan 23, 2009
Over 400 children attended this year’s Ekisakaate at Seeta High School in Mukono district. The two-week training was meant to help children improve their morals and learn more about the Buganda culture.
Over 400 children attended this year’s Ekisakaate at Seeta High School in Mukono district. The two-week training was meant to help children improve their morals and learn more about the Buganda culture.
Children aged between seven and 18 attended the training. Ekisakaate is an annual holiday children’s cultural camp that is organised by the Buganda Kingdom. Ekisakaate was started by the Nnabagereka, Sylvia Nagginda and she is the patron. Carol Batenga talked to some children who attended the camp
Learning how to peel matooke was my biggest achievement. I will help out at home and this will reduce work at home.

I learnt how to polish my shoes and wash plates. I am going to polish my parents’ shoes.
Bushira Nassali, 7,

I have learnt how to do work in groups. It is real fun. I can never miss this training.
Brenda Kabalega, 11,

I have learnt how we greet in my culture. Apart from kneeling while greeting, you have to be polite and humble in the way you speak. I encourage more children to join next time.

I have learnt to speak with confidence. Before I came for training, I used to be shy.
Lativia Ntale, 7, Sir Apollo Kagwa
The last time I was here I did not really learn everything in the two weeks. This time I want to learn more, for instance dancing.
Josephen Nayiga, 10,

Uhh, I learnt how the Baganda behave. I also learnt how to peel, cook. When I came for training, I only knew how to sweep the compound, which is the only work I did at home.
Jeremiah Kaaya, 8,
Ebenezer Nursery and Primary School
I have learnt how to make paper necklaces. These necklaces look good on our busuuti (traditional wear). I will be making for people in my family when they have functions to attend.
