Another Take of Queen Katwe by an English Man with a Ugandan Touch Part 1
This is the part one series of blog posts by Guest Blogger Micheal Harkin who is of English citizenship, sharing his thoughts and insights after watching the Queen of Katwe movie.

I think I was probably the only white guy ever to walk through Bukoto; I never…

So if you are going to start using Facebook as your blog platform, blog meaning; (Picks definition from Google) blog bläɡ/ noun: blog; plural noun: blogs 1. a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style. verb: blog; 3rd…
