I travelled with 17 students and sponsors from Uganda to Kenya for the East African Students’ Convention (EASC) 2025, an unforgettable week of growth, competition, worship, and cultural exchange.
The journey itself was full of laughter, songs, and bonding. In Kenya, you adjusted to the cold weather, enjoyed comfortable accommodations, and were inspired by the history and culture at the venue. Daily evening rallies led by Bunjoville brought powerful worship and unity, while competitions, sports, and the Worship Hub encouraged creativity and teamwork.
A highlight was when I and two friends performed as a female trio, winning first place at the award ceremony. The medals, rehearsals, and recognition symbolized not just success but also growth in confidence, faith, and teamwork. Sponsors were supportive throughout, providing encouragement and care.
Culture Night was a vibrant celebration of East African diversity, with traditional attire and unity across nations. Through preaching and devotions, you deepened your faith and embraced the theme “Rooted in Christ.†The trip closed with a celebratory dinner from your principal, marking your achievements.
I returned home with medals, lifelong friendships, renewed spiritual passion, and unforgettable memories — truly “A Week That Lasts a Lifetime.â€
