An Exmouth Primary school hosted a 'ticket to Uganda' day last Thursday.

The Brixington Primary Academy children dressed in black, gold and red - the colours of the Ugandan flag and learned about gender equality in Uganda and the UK, and made traditional houses out of clay, using recycled materials to make Ugandan dodgeballs and footballs, and traditional African drumming. The children even learned some phrases in Acholi - the language that is spoken by many children in Kirombe.

Brixington Primary raised over £400 which will be used to pay for a young girl called Patricia to keep attending school. Patricia is in Year 4 and a few of Brixington's pupils were lucky enough to speak to her via Zoom.
