Your practical guide to settling and living in Uganda

NEWSLETTER | OCTOBER | ISSUE 34NEWSLETTER | OCTOBER | ISSUE 34

newsletterDear Readers

Welcome to October. 2019 seems to be flying by. This month we have lots of plays and performances for you as well as the Annual Goat Races and the Uganda Trade Fair. For those of you feeling a little more energetic, there’s a couple of walks/marathons to get stuck into too. Next month we will begin our countdown of Christmas events (some shops already have the decorations out for sale!) but for this month, enjoy Independence Day and Halloween too if you celebrate it!

Have a wonderful month.
