Hilda Kaguma class of 2006-Digital storyteller & humanitarian

My best memory in Makini was the time before KCPE when they brought a lady from America who took us through relaxing exercises in a Saturday morning, where we just relaxed and didn’t think about exam stresses. I felt really taken care of by the school.

My favourite teacher was Mr Wekhomba he was really friendly and treated each person in a tender and caring way he used to teach us CRE.

Makini is truly one of the best schools in the world and I loved being there and learning and growing both academically, spiritually and socially. My second message is to the teachers, Thanks for loving your job and for laying your heart out to teach us with great focus and enthusiasm.

Hilda Kaguma is an aspiring digital storyteller with great interest in humanitarian issues. The Communications graduate from Daystar University is currently pursuing A Masters in Digital Media at Victoria University, Melbourne Australia.
