A two-year Forum Syd-supported projects have been completed for Mooni Sports Club in Uganda. The project's objectives have been achieved and we are now planning another Forum Syd-supported project. 130 people are registered in the sports club and exercise regularly but the materials and plans used by more schools and by the registered friends.

More and more of Moonis youths join Mooni Sports Club. And it is football that is grows most. Congratulations for the new team - boys 8-12 years.

Gerald Ngotowa, Mooni Sports Clubs chairman, is now known for the Scanians as The ice Sculptor whom never seen snow before.

November, the last school month of the year has come to its end. The youths of Mooni Sports Club are now finally free after two stressful weeks packed with exams. As far as we know most of the players have passed their grades, many even finding the exams easy and passes with top score.

Football is on the march in Mooni Sports Club. Several boys teams are now playing regularly in three different age groups. The most fun is that even the girls have taken an obvious place in football. Right now one girls team is training regulary. But when the ice is broken in a sport previously dominated by boys, we hope for a rapid development.

Now I am back in Sweden again after seven months internship in Mbale, Uganda. It has been an incredibly exciting time and it was a little sad (ok, very sad, the tears came more than once) to leave. We have come so close to the people we have worked with and I hope it will not be too long until I can go back to Uganda again.

The project has reached its sixth month, and work is in full swing. Much has been implemented, but not all - some parts still limping, but the objectives of the action is still realistic and possible to meet.

The seminar was a success as Mooni Sports Club had about 80 women and girls attending. It involved talking about girls position in the society and the importance of sports to girls. The most important is to dreate a platform where girls can feel free to discuss and critizise their role in the sociey. More gender seminars will be held later this year.
