There are big leaps from the Aliguma Foundation in Uganda to the rest of the world.

After impressive football and community projects in the country, the foundation was invited to Europe for a couple of bench-marking missions.

“Thanks be to God. We were invited for UEFA foundation for children to Greece. We shall meet several board members as we brainstorm. We shall also watch the UEFA Conference league final on Wednesday” Aliguma remarked.

The delegation has three persons from the famous Acholi Quarters; James Odongkara, 13, Janet Zenah Arach, 18 and a local council councillor Mr. Ismail Mukoiko.

From Masindi is the 10-year-old Christian Muhwezi and Don Mirembe, 14.

Dorren Namuyinga, an administrator with the Aliguma Foundation also traveled.

Some of the parents of the traveling children were at the airport to see off their sons and daughters in excitement.

“I want to thank the Aliguma Foundation for every positive development they have done in my life. I was working in a stone quarry but now I am able to get education. My single mother could not afford fees. I am really happy. Traveling by air transport for the first time in life is a dream come true. I am honoured” commented Janet Arach Zenah from Acholi Quarters.

Meanwhile, the delegation will also watch a high profile football game between Olympiakos and Fiorentina in the Europa Conference league final at the OPAP Arena in Greece on Wednesday, 29th May 2024.
