"Ignorance is expensive"

The Internet and the library were "officially" launched yesterday.

Young and senior volunteers were on hand to welcome visitors, show them around and also to demonstrate the use of the Internet.

We had a couple of friends, from Hawaii and South Africa, joins us online for a chat which spiced things up a bit. Otherwise, the Ugandan dailies' websites, New Vision and Monitor, as well as BBC proved to be popular.

During the speeches given, many encouraged the community members to make use of the facilities and services available. One quote in particular received much laughter and resonated with those present - "ignorance is expensive".

Thanks to all those who worked hard towards this, and all those who came, from near and far, to be part of the occassion.

Do check out some photos we'v uploaded to our album.
