This week am in Norway and staying in Rjukan for two weeks.My high school and Rjukan Upper school in Rjukan,Oslo have been engaged in an exchange program that is sponsored by Friendship North South for over five years now under a program name “ELIMU”

This program is based on sharing culture diversities,appreciating differences and embarrassing similarities and also on skills and knowledge sharing.

Every years the program takes place we work on a theme and the theme for this year is”Human Dignity”

.My school Mengo senior school has sent six teenage ambassadors accompanied by a female teacher and the head teacher himself.
Tomorrow we get to meet the rest of the students of Rjukan and then the program is fired up……….
