Swedish Exchange Students in Uganda

Mbale Tigers project leader Stefan Laupa and the Swedish exchange youths participating in cooperation with the Table Tennis Club have arrived in Uganda. Club chairman Emmanuel Matsyetsye along with local radio, TV and news papers greeted the Swedish participants as they arrived. The story was also covered by the local press The New Vision.

"We came in the right time since the Ugandan table tennis Association had just received 20 million Ugandan shilling for a competition, and this together with that we were contributing with material with the value of 40 million Ugandan Shilling attracted both the radio the TV and the newspapers to a press conference. The best was that we were able to promote for sport for disabled people so now we have planted a seed for the future" says Stefan Laupa.
