Breakfast time but... can you tell the difference between Reft and Light ?

Breakfast is an important business here and takes place at 10.30, don't forget the students have been up since 4 am and already have been subjected to 3 hours of mainly maths lessons. Science teacher Martin Kadduuuu has a voracious appetite...



Mr Bright enjoys a mug of maize porridge and a rolled japati.

Mr Gell really doesn't like being photographed when trying to come to terms with a new food



Students eat pretty much all their food from their plastic buckets... Lawrence and Paul getting stuck into porridge heaven...







Now it's a curious thing but Ugandans cannot differentiate between the letter 'L' and the letter 'R' when speaking. This can lead to obvious mzungu (white man) mirth. Fresh eggs are often pronounced as 'Flesh eggs'. Steaks are often 'flying' rather than frying. Lorries are Rollies. Asking someone to pray before a meal can often come across as an invitation to play.

 Mr Bright is no exception, here extolling the values of the morning staple, college porridge...



Please wish newsreaders across Uganda the best of luck with the 'upcoming elections'.
