Also attended Nakesero, alison and Sarah Leeland, with Peter and Michael Jenkins. My father, roger Leeland, was at the Britis High Commission 1962-68. We lived in Bugalobe Hill and then Impala Ave near the old airstrip. Remember Silver Springs swimming pool where I earned my gold ASA swimming badge, and weekends At Entebbe pool. Also fishing in Lake Victoria with my friend John Holdsworth. I'm on alisonleeland@yahoo.com if any old friends want to get in contact with me, Sarah, Peter or Michael Jenkins. Peter and I have been together 25 years.

Further to my message posted a couple of minutes ago. Michael Quinn email address is matobani@gmail.com. If anyone has information on David Beckwith, Veronica Wilkinson or Jimmy Kabuleta I would love to hear from them. I am in Texas now and my brother Mark is in Boston. Also, great pictures of Kampala here on the site. We have not been back to Uganda since leaving in 1963 but maybe a return visit is in order. I hear lots of things about the city and country on the news (BBC) and I remember how lush and beautiful the country was. Best to All. MQ

Wow, glad I stumbled on this blog about Uganda. My name is Michael Quinn and my brother Mark and I attended Nakasaro Primary when we lived in Kampala between 1961-1963. I was in 5th grade at the time and he was in either 3rd or 4th. I was in Livingston House and he was in Speck House. My mother had gone to Uganda as a teacher with an outreach group associated with Columbia University here in the States. The organization was Teachers for East Africa (TEA) and she was assigned to teach business classes at Kampala Technical Institute just outside Kampala. A couple friends of ours were also attending Nakasaro Primary, David Beckwith and Michael Conway both of whose parents were also teachers with TEA. I knew Jimmy Kabuleta as a friend and as I recall he was a great kid. There was also a girl that I met and had a crush on. Her name was Veronica Wilkinson..wonder what ever happened to her. Her father was involved in some way with the British Embassy/Consulate as I recall. What a beautiful time that was. Kampala was so cool. We used to have tea at the Victoria Hotel and shop for curios right across the street in the middle of the round-a-bout traffic island. As Americans we were somewhat of an oddity at that time in Kampala and as wise guy kids we relished the notoriety. As I recall, the Headmaster of Nakasaro at the time was a fellow by the name of Bartlett and Mr. Lacy was the Asst. Headmaster. I thought that Mr. Little was the music teacher in those days. He was a shorter man with a goatee and we did not care for him very much. I can remember the before school assemblys where the days messages, group prayer and British National Anthem were sung. We all wore school uniforms, of course, and this was foreign to the American kids since we never had worn uniforms before. We did however enjoy shaping the uniform hats into cowboy style hats just to annoy the school administration. What a great time of life this was.

jeanette jeanettekendall1@virginmedia.com 23-Oct-2014 02:19 Hello Brian, Just to say greetings again.Having found my Nakasero school photograph of class 66( 6b) -i do have most of the names of the pupils on the back of the the photo plus i do have the school choir photo taken in 1966. So if anyone is interested i have some names to faces.

Guest		05-Jul-2014 11:53
Thanks for these. I was born in Uganda in 1965 (Mulago Hospital) and lived there until we had to leave in 1973. Also at Nakasero and have many fond childhood memories. I learned to swim in the pool at what was then the Apollo but is now the Sheraton. I remember secretly sneaking into a tunnel that took you under the island in the middle. You could look up through the glass floor and see people above. Also remember the Speke and the National Theatre. As children we'd climb up the concrete "island" and into the conical plant pot you can see on the photo. As a seven year old it seemed enormous but looks tiny now! Fond memories.

Discovered these excellent photographs of modern Kampala while browsing through links to some of my old schools (we moved around a lot when I was a child). Your site seems to have been rather hijacked by comments from old boys and girls from Nakasero Primary school, and I can only apologize for adding to the list. I was at Nakasero for only a year between 1959-1960. I have fond memories of my time there, firstly in Mr Moore's class for a term before moving on to join Mr Hope for the following year. I also remember Miss Milne (whose wedding I attended in Aberdeen while on leave, when she married a colleague of my father at the then Uganda Credit and Savings Bank). Also Miss Pckering, who terrified everyone at Nakasero but became my favourite teacher when she moved to become Headmistress of Fairways School in Mbale at the same time as I moved there. She once told me she had no idea why she inspired so much fear into Nakasero pupils! I remember Mr Lacey as Deputy Headmaster -- he really was scary. Unfortunately, I don't remember the Headmaster's name. He was a genial big burly man, accompanied everywhere in the school by two large dogs. Ridgeback, Rottweiler types, as I remember, but quite friendly. The music teacher was Mrs Elizabeth Salisbury, who had a weekly music programme on the radio. I think I was in Livingstone house, but it may have been Speke or Portal. After some schooling in the UK, I returned to Mbale, where I attended Mbale Senior Secondary School, I think in 1964. I really enjoyed my time there. It was still mainly Asian pupils, with a smattering of Africans -- and me, the only white face in the crowd. I liked all my male teachers and Mrs De Souza, who taught English, but does anyone here remember the terrifying Miss Sulu and Mrs Brown? I also spent a few months at Kololo Senior Secondary School in 1965, but don't remember much about it -- I was desperately trying to study a different syllabus from the rest of my class, for the Overseas School Certificate. I moved from Mbale too close to the exam to catch up with my Kampala classmates. In Kampala we lived in both Lower and Upper Kololo Terraces, one house not far from Lugogo stadium. Some classmates I remember from Nakasero: Barbara Nasembeni, Joyce Cavalliero, Janice?, Frances Watts, Jill or Ginny? (who was my best friend and called me "Sandybags"; I'm ashamed I can't recall her name). My thanks for bringing back happy memories of an African childhood. Sandra Rchards.

To Peter Johnson - my mother worked both at National & Grindleys in the late 1950s and then in Drapers from early 1960s but I guess your father may have left his GM post by then from the Store. Drapers was the finest department store in Kampala. As a child I recall being fascinated by the elevator as I had never seen one. Those halcyon days .... aaah!

Peter Johnson		17-Jul-2012 11:15
Hi my name is Peter Johnson, I lived in Kampala during the early to late 1950's. My Father was general manager of Drapers Stores (1943) Pty Ltd. I remember the Queen Mother comming Kampala, buildings were painted along the main street, bunting hung and flags flew. I attended the 'European Primary School', which was then renamed to 'Nakasero Primary'. Some of my teachers were a Mr Jerry Glossom (?) Mrs Sainsbury, Mr Lacey was my sister Catherine's teacher. My other sister Sybil joined the 'National & Grindleys Bank. We lived on Nakasero hill, just down the road from the Fort. There & at the entrance to the fort were barrels full of spent cartrigaes which my friend & I would help ourselves too. One of my friend's father was in the police at that time in Kenya, & I can recall seeing home made guns that the Mau Mau had made from rubber pipes, nails, and a wooden hand carved butts. These he had brought back home. I joined the Cub Scouts (6th Mengo), and then joined the Scout troop. Went to Crusaders, and Mr Warboyes played on a foot opperated organ. I remember weekends spent swimming at Silver Springs swimming pool, Entebbe, swimming in the lake, trips to the Murchasion Falls & the Queen Elizabeth National park. These we happy and care free days, and how I miss them.

Guest		13-Apr-2012 18:38
It was nice to see photos of Kampala. I lived in Kampala from 1959 to 1969. I started my schooling at Shimoni, then at Nakivubo ( my dad was a teacher in this school ) I did my O levels at Old Kampala Secondry, then moved to UK to continue my studies. I revisted Uganda in 2006, but never found it the same. Our house in Old Kampala still stands. I became very emotional when I saw our house, not too far from the famous Aga Khan mosque in old Kampala. I have lived in UK since 1969 and still miss Uganda very much. I got married and my wife came to UK in 1967 from Nairobi, Kenya. I would love to hear from anyone who knows me and would like to share our stories.

I'm piecing together my parents lives (particular my dad who past away 12 years ago) and their life in Kampala. I too was born in Kampala but we left when I was only 18months old so I have no memories of these idyllic times that my mum and brothers and sisters talk about. My dad was Ying Chan and he owned the Canton Restaurant during in the 1960s. Anything information about that time and my family would be great. Thank you

@Barbara, very interesting, I joined Agakhan Primary a couple of years after you, in 1968, and have fond memories fo Mrs. Jinna and of course the indomitable Mr. Hinchcliff. I know that marion Kabali Kagwa is here in kampala, and I could hook you up with her address. I grew up in the same year with her brother, Victor, who was then at Kitante (or was that Nakasero)? Very fond memories here....

Having lived in Kampala 1968-1970 it was very nice to see the photographs, and to see Michael Hendrie's comment as I worked with his father at the Ottoman Bank. I am still in contact with musical friends from all those years ago - the Kampala Jazz Club (Francis Fernandes now of Vancouver; Terry Sythes who taught French in Kampala for years)and Development Bank officer Rainer Lotz; Danish volunteer Henning Lorenzen). My interest in African history followed my years in Uganda - take a look at jeffreygreen.co.uk . Be good! Jeffrey Green, West Sussex, England October 2011

Barbara		25-Sep-2011 17:04
Hi, I am Barbara Mayanja, and I joined Aga Khan Primary from Aga Khan Nursery in 1966. I remember my older sisters taking about Mr. Dixsit. But I found Mr. Jinnah, Mr. Hinchcliff, Mrs. Mascarenas, Mrs. Devji , Mr. Ramji , and Ms Lutwama (one of the few African teachers) at the school. I have a photo of P5E taken in 1969 and my classmates where Bilkish Sundrani (father worked with the sports fraternity), Shahnaz Huddah (Stayed near the school?), Shahnaz Alibali (Alibahi’s Garage), Nashrine Jaffer (Jeffries Ice Cream and Park Hotel), Shyrose (?), Umeshafiq Bandali Jaffer, Nimet (Jaffer?), Marion Kabali-Kaggwa, and Mr. Jinnah and Mr. Ramji’s daughters. Then among the boys was Fred Walter, a boy whose family had a large furniture shop on Kampala Road and he stayed in a house opposite Jamat Khana, ( grey Peugeot pickup used to drop and pick him and other family members from school),a boy called Najib, and another boy whose family name was Bawa Singh. Then another boy was born in Bugerere and he was fluent in Luganda. Also I remember a Zulfikar, and Mark Hartman (had a sister called Sarah and a brother called Lee),who came while in P6. Anybody still there, I would love to hear from you.

Hi All!What a Wonderful site! I grew up in Kampala where I lived from 1951 till 1958.I studied at The European Primary School (presumably the Nakasero Primary!) and left Uganda in Dec'58 for Secondary School education in India at La Martiniere College, Lucknow. I joined the Indian Airforce as a fighter pilot thereafter and never could return to Uganda! but how I long to go there!!

Harriet Fowler....was the Kampala Club sometimes referred to as the "Top Club" (as it was at the top of the hill)? If so I should have some photos - probably of groups of people from the period around 1955 - 1962 - that my parents took.

I spent the best part of my childhood in Kampala and attended NAkasero from 1962 to 1967. My family name was Alexander, my dad worked for Mowlems and was called Jock, and my mother worked at Makarere, her name was Audrey. Really wish I could visit again.

Hello All, My name is Nur-Begum Karim and I am from Kampala too. I left in 1966 to move to London, England. My late parents were Hassan and Gulshan Karim. My father was the Secretary of the Aga Khan Education Board, Kampala, and served under various Administrators being Jimmy Verjee, Ameer Ishani and P.K. Pirani. My late mother taught at the Aga Khan Primary School from 1954 to 1960. I have lived in London UK ever since but cherish the memories I have of Kampala and my idyllic childhood there. I attended both the Aga Khan Nursery and Primary Schools until 1966. I recall Mr Jinnah (the AKPS Caretaker) and his family, Mr Sharp was the Headmaster (anyone know whatever happened to him or where his family now live ?), my teachers were Mrs Ruby Pereira, Miss Malek I.V. Jamal and others whose names I cannot recall. My AKPS friends with whom I am still in touch are Umeeda Umedaly (her mother taught at AKNS and Nakasero school) and Zabina Motani (now Mrs Dossa). Others whom I am also in contact with are: Lorraine Pereira (Mrs Pereira's youngest) and Jameela Siddiqi (younger daughter to Mr Siddiqi who taught English Literature at AKPS). My family and I lived in the Teachers Quarters (ie: the three apartment blocks) which were opposite the Aga Khan Primary and Secondary Schools with the Nursery and Aga Khan Boys Hostel on either side. Would love to make contact with anyone whoh remembers me. My email is: nur_begum_karim@hotmail.com If Genevive McCourt could contact me I would be very pleased even though she will not know who I am as she was probably Jameela Siddiqi's peer ... I think. This is a wonderful site and happy to hear from anyone who knew my late parents or me. All the best, Nur-Begum (Hassan) Karim London - UK

Hi it's great adventure to have the map of Kampala online, thanks for being creative to that extent. However I am amazed to see that few Ugandans have posted comments.This makes me worried of ugandans on the level of use e-resources, again confirming the saying that if you want to hide something from Africans, put it in writing. We can also add this; put it on the Electronic Information Technologies. I have liked it, continue please.

I lived in Kampala from 1965 to 1968 and taught at Kitante boys school and then at Old Kamapla Senior Sec, years 1 & 2. I am currently scanning my old slides onto my computer, so am immersed in images of Uganda, and it is snowing outside here in Cardiff. I was a member of KATs and was glad to see the National Theatre still standing. I read all the comments and was moved by those who were forcibly expelled, they gave the UK a great economic boost eventually. It's taken me years to look at these slides as I just think of the horrors that the madman caused. I'm impreesed by the survivors' courage.

My brother James Oda (Kololo Senior Secondary School, Sister Margaret Oyim, Later Old Kampala Senior and myself later Kololo High School. Although I live in Kenya presently, I have not gone back to Uganda since 1978, seeing the picture of Christ the King church just brought tears to my eyes. I am American. I do remember those tumultous days of living in Uganda under Idi Amin's rule, never should this allowed to happen again. Uganda remains dear in my heart.

Hello, my name is Hannah Nixon and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Manchester. For my dissertation I am exploring the themes of Identity, belonging and citizenship of Ugandan Asians and what these notions mean for individuals after emigrating to the UK. I was wandering if anyone would be willing to answer some questions about identity and belonging? Any help would be greatly appreciated and all answers will be kept anonymous. If anyone would like to participate please could you send me a quick reply to my email address which is hannah.nixon-2@student.manchester.ac.uk. Thank you very much, Hannah

Thanks for the lovely photos, very evocative of happy times as a teenager 67-72 - Dad was manager of Ottoman and then Grindlays - what a privilege to be brought up in such a place. Many memories, all good until the darkness came with Amin. Good luck to any old friends.

I went to Norman Godinho School in Kampala and in 1958 went to KTI Kyambogo. Lost touch with all the students and colleagues when I went to the UK to University in 1965. Now living in Ontario Canada and keen to talk with those who studied with me many many years ago

I am a Ugandan Canadian now living in Toronto. My home is in Mbale. I studied in Mount St Mary's Namagunga where I was also headgirl in 1970 before I went to Makerere University where I studied English and French. After 1972 I lost track of many classmates and dear friends of Asian origin including Bella, Miranda, Yasmin, Jesse who I briefly met in Mombasa a few years later, Lilian, the Mathematician and artist, Ingrid, and many many others especially my classmates in the first year French class at Makerere. I would love to make contact. I would also love to make contact with Dr. Patel (when I met him in 1972 he was a medical student in Nigeria) I met him at Ibadan University where I had gone for a WUS conference in August 1972. His parents lived in Toronto and I met them at their home very briefly shortly before they left Uganda. It would be great if I could connect with them too. Immy Wamimbi

When I was a student at Makerere University (1971-1974) I worked as a part-time reporter for Uganda Argus. It seems you were there at the same time but we may not have crossed paths. The editor was "Mr. Woods" and we had a British Sub-editor whose name I forget. I usually stayed up in the reporters' room and hardly went down to Administration. Some of the reporters were Joshua Brave, Rebecca, Chris, Betty etc. and photographers such as the late Palmer. I reported some amazing live events, for example one Saturday at the Police College near Kibuli when Idi Amin was supposed to preside over graduation but started by announcing the banning of mini skirts, which sort of threw the city in Chaos as some unscrupulous individuals started harassing women who were in dresses that day. For me the graduation became insignificant. (With Joshua Brave)I also reported the proceedings of the East African Parliament I think in 1972, and I wront numerous feature articles. I now live in Canada. I, too, would love to know where all the people at. I also wish there were microfilms where we could access the articles we wrote online. Immy Wamimbi

Born Nakasero Hospital 1948. Went to Nakasero Primary 1955-60 before that long train journey to Nairobi and St Mary's school. I've forgotten so many names but would love to see any school photos from around that time. If anyone would like to see some photos of me then go to www.the-inward-adventure.co.uk. A few years out of date but close enough! Wow!! So many buried memories have been brought to the surface with these wonderful photos and reading the comments of others who have lived there to. Amazing to know that some of the people on here were at Nakasero Primary with me. Memories of visiting Mr Lacey in his office and the infamous tacky!! I have hundreds of photos somewhere so must dig them out.

myra lamberton		30-Dec-2009 22:09
Lived in Kampala from 1954 - 1964.I went to Nakasero Primary.

Alwyn Santhumayor		24-Dec-2009 08:46
Thank you very much for the photos. I was born in kampala and lived there till 1972. I went there in 2005 and took many photos and video on my cam. My father worked in Standard Bank and my mother at the Development house. I studied in Shimoni Primary school. Shimoni school is now demolished, but everything seems to be there......only time has changed. Namugongo visit was nostalgic as Pope Paul VI visited Kampala in 1969, and we went for mass. My childhood experience especially at Universal house where all Indians lived there fantastic, where we used to have kite competition with the neighbouring buildings. We used to coat the thread with a paste with glass pieces so as to bring down kites from the neighbouring buildings. It was a nice competition. LAter on we lived in, now, the JUMBO house, which was opposite the "Fresh food" market, now, Nandoo's restaurant. We are Mangaloreans, who went back to India and are now in the Gulf and USA. I would be happy to share photos. My email is alwyn26@hotmail.com My name is Alwyn Santhumayor, Son of Late Charles Santhamyor and Dulcine Santhumayor. Kwa Heri.

Hi all, My name is Nick Syminton. I was born Kampala in 1955 and lived there until about 1973. After my father died, we moved to live on top of formerly National & Grindlays. Prior to that, father worked at Radio Uganda on (Bugalobe?). Went to Nakasero for a short while. These pictures bring back some good memories and glad to see that some of the buildings I remember are still around. Like meeting up at the Grand Hotel as teenagers!

Lucy		14-Nov-2009 23:43
My family lived in Kampala for 7 years until 1966. I went to Nakesero Primary. It was very strict. I remember one of the teachers used to hit us on the thighs if we got spellings wrong. My spelling improved very quickly! My parents worked for Makerere University. I remember reciting times tables daily and learning to read in the school. Very beautiful country. Would love to revisit sometime.

HI, I have just found this wonderful site. I am trying to gather as much info as possible about Uganda during the 70's under the reign of Idi Amin as I am trying to write a book right now and there is a lot in it about that time. I live in Scotland. My late brother was Frankie Marsh. He was Ugandan but was adopted by my family in 1968. His name was Francis Kaggwa Wivugera. His father was Gideon Kaggwa and his mother Janet wivugera.She was a teacher in Uganada although I don't know where. I am interested in personal stories of the time and anyone who may have escaped across Busia to Kenya. if anyone can talk to me about their memories I would be so grateful for your time and if anyone knows anything about Janet in particular that would be wonderful. Many thanks and thanks for sharing Michaela

Jane Baker		17-Oct-2009 14:27
My name was Jane Arey . We lived in Kampala from 1970 to Christmas 1972. I went to Kitanti Primary School but lived on Namirembi Hill near the Anglican Cathedral. My father was a Doctor at Mulago Hospital. I learnt to swim in the pool at the Grand Hotel and Makerere University with Mr Smith but have many fond memories of afternoon swimming at the Apollo. My parents were active in KATS and Theatre Group especially the pantomimes, the Merry Widow and the Boy Friend all performed at the National Theatre. The photos have brought back many happy memories for both myself and my Dad and it is wonderful to read everyones posts and see that others are still like us touched by a place and its people after so many years of not being there.

abdulmajeed Krama		16-Oct-2009 20:39
Hi Every one.My name is Abdulmajeed Karama and I was born in Masaka and I had my studies in Masaka Agakan Secondary school until 1970. It was the best days of my life there until I moved to rwanda then Yemen.Seeing these photos want to make me cry. I reember those wounderful days of my life with very nice people who served me and respected me all my entire life there. They are gifted people in a gifted land. Even if they had nothing to give you, they still had their open hearts to give. Sometimes as I look back to the hardship they are facing I wish I could go back and pay back their kindness and respect and change their way of life to a better one.My thanks to all Ugandans. You will always be on my mind and to my ART teacher Miss Ruth Franklin.

Hi Brian I was at Nakasero primary school fromn1il 1962. Started in the nursery and progressed through the infants to the primary school. Sat the K.P.E and passed,was really looking forward to going to boarding school in Kenya when my father announced we would be returning to the UK. Leaving Kampala via the railway station in December 1962 , i made a promise to myself and Kampala that I would return one day. Hopefully I will be returning with my two sons who have been raised on what a beautiful country Uganda is and what a wonderful childhood I enjoyed there. Would love to hear from any old school friends or teachers who might remember me. My name then was Anna Batham, my father worked in the tax office and my mother worked for the BBC. Names I remember, Esther Mukuwye, Wawse and Kato Lule, Miss Dixon, Mr Bartlett, Mr Ellis, Sally Ellis -Jones whom I met up with again in 1969 at Charing Cross hospital. How I regret not taking more photos at the time. Yours have reminded me so much of what I have yearned for. "Oh Uganda thy people praise thee"

Hello ex-Nakasero (and Aga Khan SS). I was at Nakasero from 1967 to 1969 and Aga Khan 1970-71. I have been in contact with Kwame Rubadiri and Alnasir Karim from this time. Others I recall - Michael Lord (related to Cathy mentioned below?), Steve Jones, Michael Truscott, Cathy Jones, Mary Saldhana, Bruce McDowell (I lost touch after I got married in the 80s), Imelda McCourt,... As with others, very fond memories of that time and place. (Even if I do recall the alternative use of a tacky from personal experience!

Chris Saxby		14-Jul-2009 07:27
Hello to all who were at Nakasero 1967-1969, I was there from age 5+ to 7 and remember our time in Kampala with great fondness. I still have two old school reports from my time at Nakasero. My Dad (David Saxby) used to read the 6 o'clock evening news on Uganda radio. We lived on Stanley Road, it was super time, especially for kids growing up there then. All the best to you all, cheers,Chris Saxby

Miriam Oliensis		11-Jul-2009 03:58
We lived in Kampala from 1963 - 1965, and attended Nakasero during those years (I was in 6th & 7th grade; my siblings are younger). My father worked at Makere, and we lived on Kololo Terrace. I too recall Mr. Lacey, and the green & white uniforms. The pictures are wonderful, and bring back so many memories.

tonyrogers		15-Jun-2009 21:29
Re. Nakasero Primary School. I was in Kampala from 1964 - 1968, and went to this school. I think I remember Miss Hope, and I certainly remember Mr. Lacey - we called him Mr. Tacky - after the plimsolls that we used to wear, and were used for alternative purposes (I believe). I returned to the UK to a place called Cottingham in East Yorkshire. Imagine my surprise when we say Mr. Lacey walking down the street. He had moved to the UK sometime after us, and now lived in a small village nearby. What a small world! I can still remember some of the words to the Christmas play that I was in. I was King Herod's Herald. I've been messing with Google maps to remind myself about what I did and where. There's not much, but have a look athttp://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=105454635627442409264.00044292005fb0334d117&t=h&z=13 if you are interested. If anyone can give me the lat/log of the school, I'll add it. Best wishes to all. Anthony Rogers.

Rudy Shpyth		08-Jun-2009 17:39
Oh what memories of Uganda! I was a Canadian Teacher at Masaka SS School from August 1967-December 1972 initially, then the school was amalgamated with the AgaKhan SS School.I taught Science. I do not think a day passes without thoughts of Uganada and my cherished visions and experiences.I am still in touch with a few former teachers at the school via e-mail,namely from Denmark,Scotland,UK,Norway,and Canada.I lived on Bwala Hill and would love to try and connect with a couple of former students who lived in my quarters, namely Josam Kabasheki and John Mwetessi,who I understand bacame teachers in and around Mbarara Primary Schools.John was from Kigesi.I sincerely hope those who had to leave Uganda during the reign of terror under Idi Amin have made a successful new life wherever you are.John Halani, who owned a grocer and meat shop in Masaka was nominated as one of Canadas top 25 immigrants. He now resides in Vancouver. I wish everyone well.

Miss Hope? Miss Vase? Would love to see some pictures of the school and more of Old Kampala.

I went to Nakasero Primary School from 1966 until 1970 - then was taught at home on Kyambogo Hill for 2 years. Left in November 1972 - the saddest day of my life. I have never been able to feel at home in the UK, people here worry about such trivial things. Am hoping to visit Uganda later this year with my children - then maybe one day.....

Guest		08-Mar-2009 19:01
My name is Mark Buton. Fantastic pictures - thank you for the memories! I attended Nakasero Pimary School 1965 - 1969. We lived for a while at Lubowa then Mackinnon Road. Found our house on Google Earth - looks exactly the same as we left it! Remember so much about this beautiful country and plan to go back before too long. Great to see others here who share a love for Uganda.

Hello Rozmin, you might also try 'searching' for your former friends on facebook.com. I'm sure some of your friends or their children or their relatives are on it. You might be lucky if you already know your friends' brothers and sisters. I notice your are in Canada and most likely the people you are looking for are in UK. Good luck!

Hello everyone, I had no idea so many of us went to Nakasero Primary and still remember it all!. I went there approx 1964-66 as I then was sent to Britain to Boparding school at the old age of 7years. I'm not sure of peoples names, I remember what they looked like and the strict lady teacher with blonde hair whop always got my name wrong. I'm in Britain now. Was Mr Cheemo there when I was? was he the slim one who smiled and was kind to us confused pupils?.

Great photos. Krazy Kampala has changed a lot. Lived in Uganda in the late '90s, returned in 2001 and again in 2008. Things have improved or modernized much but the air quality and traffic congestion are reducing its attraction. Hopefully the political leaders can address these issues before Kampala becomes unattractive.

To all those hurting departed Asians that were living in Uganda during the times of Idi Amin I extend my sincere apologies. But it is better you left alive because the years that followed were really bloody! But thank God that,s History now! Idi Amin died, and Uganda is safe and peaceful now. You can visit any time!!

Dear All, I went to Lake Victoria Primary School 1966-1972 and all my teachers were from the UK. I now head an organization that is Uk funded and one of the areas is Reading for Pleasure in primary schools. Any of you of that generation know we had about the best teachers one could ever get. If any of you knows of teachers who worked in Uganda at that time ask them to visit our website www.katutandike.org or get in touch at xtinesemambo@yahoo.co.uk

I was born in Kampala in 1950 from Italian parents and went to Nakasero Primary School. My teacher was Mr. Cheeney...Reading through the other peoples' comments I came across one that was written by his son/daughter!!!.... I would love to know more about my old teacher and see a picture of him as I unfortunately have non.

Jasvir Jutla		24-Sep-2008 20:37
I must say that i echo the comments of Bipin Joshi. I have been living in the UK now for some 35 years, having left Uganda in 1972. I attended East Kololo primary School and lived on Bukoto Street in Kololo. I ache over memories of the school and over Kampala as a whole. It has been wonderful to note like sentiments expressed here. It amazes me how many are out there who have been so profoundly touched by their upbringing in Uganda. Often is the case that i think back on what was a relatively a short but infinitely significant part of my life. At times when overwhelmed by the stressful nature of our current existence it is not uncommon for me to reflect on those far off sunny days in Kampala. I would love to hear from those from East Kololo Primary School given that no matter how much i research on the net i still cannot trace any photos of the school.

I was born in Uganda in 1952 at Nasambya Hospital. I left Uganda in 1967. During my childhood in Uganda I spent first few years approximately 5 years in Bombo. Than we came to Uganda. Our house was located on William Street near Rahim House. I went to Shimoni Primary School and Kololo Senior Secondary School. I finished my S.S. I and S.S. II at Kololo Senior Secondary School before I migrated out of Uganda. The pictures presented here are excellent and hope there pictures for Shimoni Primary School and Kololo Senior Secondary School. I enjoyed the pictures and some of them took back to my childhood memory. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful pictures.sG

I was born in Kampala in 1965, in Mengo Hospital. I haven't been back since we left in 1967 and don't remember anything of it, however my parents made several cine films of it so I can 'revisit' those times. My father was a teacher at Nakasero Primary School.. I would be interested if anyone remembers him - Mr Eric Cheeney. I have a facebook group dedicated to his memory.. anyone is welcome to join it!

I lived in Uganda for 2 years 1970 to 1972. Although we left when I was 10 years old, I have fantastic memories of an idyllic 2 years. I went to Nakasero school with my brother Timothy. Mr Matovu was my fantastic maths teacher. We lived on Mboya Hill, my dad worked for East African Post and Telephones and my mum at Pinetree nursery school. We used to swim at entebbe club most weekends while dad played golf. memories of buying huge bananas on the way home along the Entebbe Rd.So many wonderful memories but so sad when I returned in 2002 for a holiday. nakasero school was very different and my treasured memories were slightly dented.Uganda was truly the Pearl of Africa and started me on a life of travel, I am now in dubai. I would love to hear from anybody who was at nakasero at that time.

What wonderful photographs of Kampala! They bring back lovely memories of some of the best years of our lives. Thank you!

Girish Karkhanis		09-Jan-2008 06:19
The pearl of Africa in our hearts. Mom was born at Nakasero Hospital in 1933 before it became a TV Station. Dad taught International Law and Taxation at Uganda College of Commerce. We lived at Bukoto Estates until 1969 (behind the police station) at the end of Kira Road, and walked to Kololo High School. Three generations of the Chitnavis family contributed to the development of Uganda and East Africa in peace and harmony. Many friends and family now spread all over the world. Uganda gave us some of the best memories of our lives.

Jeff Klaus		13-Dec-2007 02:48
I lived at Makere during the early 1970's as a child...actually met Idi Amin when he visited and "lectured"...we couldn't mention the name of Milton Obote' in public for fear of being overheard and reported...I attended the Lincoln School with lots of Americans but my best memories are of our dear friends the Wandera family (Barnabas, Benedict, Mary)...we spent hours at the university pool and each week would go to a drive-in movie theater in the outskirts of town, don't know exactly where it was....I recall a Cashco grocery store and a Wimpy's burger shop downtown on Kampala Rd....Still can taste Orange squash!

Shailesh Doshi		02-Dec-2007 17:20

Nice to see photos of Uganda. It's almost like living there again. I was born in Hoima. Would love to see some photos of Hoima.

SAM		19-Nov-2007 13:19
I was just a kid when Amin's madness dawned on the country. The evening the expulsion of Asians was anounced my visiting illiterate grandmother made the fololwing lament which I remember very well. She mournfully said;(translation to follow) "Amin agobye abayindi?! tuja kulira amaziga mazibu! Abalesiza ebintu byabwe byebekolera?! Uganda ya kubonabonera emyaka 15".Trans. "Amin has expelled the Asians?! We shall shed untold tears; depriving them of the products of their sweat?! Uganda will suffer torment for 15 years!" How prophetic! 1972 - 1986,well, almost. We grew up not knowing the taste of even basics such as sugar, salt,butter e.t.c Knew nothing of security, peace, human rights, progress e.t.c. We payed the price; both the expelled ones and the indegenous. I now live in S.A.

Susie		10-Nov-2007 13:05
I was also born in Kampala in 1953 and went to Nakasero School. So many memories of this beautiful place -it is amazing to see these photos - things are looking good. I can remember quite a bit about the school Mr Bartlett headmaster, Miss Lease, Mr Heathcote, and scary Mrs Campion! We lived for a time in Kintu Road and then The Ridgeway on Kololo Hill. Somewhere buried I still have many photos of Kampala at this time. Would be great to hear from anyone who was there then. My name then was Susan Scarisbrick and my farther worked for Uganda Electricity Board in Amber House

Catherine and Dixon Berabose		27-Oct-2007 14:05
Kampala and Uganda in general is an extremely nice place with hospitable people. You should come and see for youself. The scenery, tropical animals and many other features.

Brings back happy memories but sad to see no photos of the outskirts of Kampala - kololo, shimoni, old kampala.

Bipin Joshi		16-Sep-2007 12:47
Everyone has commented about how great the photos are but for those of us who were born and lived in uganda upto 1973, it is where we have our childhood memories.No matter where you are,you cannot help but be drawn back to a place that holds so much of what is precious in your hearts.We may have lost our parents,maybe family members now live in different parts of the world and our firnds and neighbours have moved on. However, when we see these pictures, you get this overwheming feeling of living thos days again and surely that is priceless? I think it is!!

Andrew Sharp		08-Sep-2007 01:08
Wonderful photos, great memeories. I was born in Kampala 1953 and went to school at Nakasero Primary. I lived in Nakasero Road and later Elgon Terrace on Kololo.

Lot of development which gives hope for the future. Live in UK now.

My dad was part of Mowlems Construction Co, and my mum worked at Makerere, and we lived in Impala Avenue, Kampala.
