Kabira International School Summer Camp (July 2005)

There was a wonderful article about this Peace Tiles party in Uganda's daily New Vision that mentions Life in Africa and Kiwanuka and the Global Peace Tiles project. As a result of this workshop, the Ugandan National Museum has adopted a Peace Tiles activity for Northern Uganda into the summer camp curriculum they will be offering to pupils during the next term break.

The kids made their tiles as a mural for Noah's Ark night commuter center after watching the film Invisible Children.
