Edukid’s mission is to educate, inspire and empower individuals all over the world!

Edukid ran oversea zoom calls with primary and secondary schools across the UK to connect with students in Uganda. Over the calls all groups of students had the opportunity to ask each other questions to find out more about their schools, hobbies, values, cultures and of course their favourite football teams!

Each zoom finished with our UK students learning Acholi – the language spoken in Northern Uganda. The students in Uganda took the lead with this and successfully taught 1-10 and simple words and phrases such as – Hello, My name is, and Thank you. The students were very keen to learn Acholi, particularly the secondary students who will soon be travelling to Uganda and visiting the children.

Edukid’s School Coordinator, Rosie, commented: “A particularly memorable moment was when Bickleigh Primary students sung a song from the popular musical, “Matilda” to the students in Uganda. This then encouraged and empowered Pauline in Uganda to sing a popular Ugandan song to her cross-continent friends both inspiring each other and creating beautiful memories.”.

Delighted smiles lit up the room and both the UK and Ugandan students were simply beaming with joy! It was truly a beautiful moment to be apart of, as cross-continent friendships were created.

Thank you to all the schools, both UK and Uganda, who took part with us in creating smiles, laughter, and lots of learning!
