The Union have managed to full fell the targets with the kids through teaching them the culture and anther things even to let them know how to look for something which can brings in money for the living of tomorrow and then! like Nico. he is a skater but he opened up a Air cut Saloon and he makes people head to be smart. at the end of the day, he makes some small money for his living.

These one they normally fetching water to the Spring Well and get some small money,Have you seen the ways of hunting money in Uganda?Nico is a good skater, he normally have a time-table for skateboarding and if you some comes into his time time-table and wants him to be smart head, he just says sorry for him and to come back later! he is always on time when going to skate.During free time of these skaters, they normally have time to read skateboard Magazines, watching skateboard Movies in order for every one to train the trick he likes mostly. To see these kids here, you get surprised and imagine you say that they are in good conditions but they are not like the ways how you think! They are good as you can see them, Like Douglas.
