What an incredible five-year journey! 🚌✨ The Nile Explorer Bus has been more than a vehicle; it has been a platform for youth to learn, lead, and innovate! We are deeply grateful to the U.S. Embassy for the trust, partnership and shared commitment to Uganda’s youth. 🇺🇬🇺🇸
🚌🌟 After five years crisscrossing Uganda, bringing STEM, civic engagement, and health programming to youth far beyond the capital, our Nile Explorer Bus has completed its journey. The finale came full circle on September 18th, when a group of outstanding students gathered at #AmericanCenterKampala for a day of leadership training. Thank you, @OpenSpaceUganda, for being our partner in this journey. Your dedication to Uganda's youth made all the difference! 🇺🇸🇺🇬
