Today is a free day for you at the lodge, its a nice place to relax, go for a swim and just enjoy the lodge. For others who would like to visit Kyomya school of the deaf.
This is a great way for you to interact with the kids a true Ugandan Experience. Kyomya School is about half an hour’s drive out of Jinja. Next to the school is the shelter for children with a disability.
Most of the children are deaf or have a mental disorder. They are well taken care of by two matrons and they attend school. When they have finished primary school their education ends and they need to leave the shelter as well.
Because some of the kids have the ability to learn, yet their parents don't have the means to provide the school fees, Frank Tours Uganda together with Sara Stout would like to help them by raising money for their school.
