One of our key Kamuli staff has completed a heroic feat - coming in the first 100 of a field of 500 in the Busoga Marathon.

Robert Ssebuliba, who runs our I.T. training programme, was awarded a commemorative key-ring for his efforts. But his biggest reward was being able to take part in a fund-raising effort to plant trees and preserve the natural environment in Busoga.
Busoga sub-region, once the Busoga Kingdom, is a large area of Uganda that contains Kamuli District, among many others.
The marathon - actually a 10km run - was won by up-and-coming long-distance runner Michael Cherop.
Members of Parliament, religious leaders, NGO staff and business people were among the guests in attendance, and runners came from as far afield as the Democratic republic of Congo, Tanzania, Rwanda and Sudan.
We congratulate Robert on his great success.
