It was again an interesting experience to pay a visit to a Norwegian boarding school. On the 25th Oct. 2008, Aavald, a teacher at Rjukan Vgs and the wife Bjorg had to visit their daughter Aasta at the school's visitation day. Geoffrey and Peter had to cease the opportunity to have a comparison between a Norwegian and a Ugandan boarding school. The name of the school is KVITSUND GYMNAS, having a population of 190 students of both boys and girls. This is a school with a strong christian back ground and students are quite disciplined. Final year students of the school always fundraise money through different activities like concerts and such money is used to support needy people else where in the world. The 2008 final students where supporting needy people in Kenya(East Africa) and these included orphans, Normadic pastalists and the like.
