Entebbe Botanical Gardens, c Aug 2010 by VIVJ


2 pages fused in my book. If we were to ask Uganda Asians <1972 their best memory of Uganda a high percetage would say picnic. For Kampala people picnic meant the Botanical Gardens at Entebbe. Family picnics were done at least once per month. School picnics were done here too - and that's another story, part of any screenplay about growing up in Uganda.

'There was always something very special about East African Asians, going out to the deep to open up their little dukas all over. We lived not far from the chado - and then we were expelled and many of us never returned. That's why we want to tell that story.' (VIVJ)
