On
behalf of the Her Royal Highness The Patron of Nnabagereka Development
Foundation, Trustees, Governance Board, Board of Ekisaakaate Kya
Nnabagereka, Management, Staff and my own behalf, I am pleased
to inform you that Nnabagereka Development Foundation (NDF) in
conjunction with Bulungi Bwansi Canada and Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of Buganda Kingdom will be hosting our first ever Ekisaakaate Kya
Nnabagereka (EKN) Diaspora.
The Inaugural Diaspora Ekisaakaate Kya Nnabagereka will be held in Toronto-Canada 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 29th August 2014 under the theme “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE: TRACING YOUR ROOTS? (GWE ANI: ZZUULA OBUVO BWO?). Attached herewith for your information is the information about Ekisaakaate, NDF Brochure, Announcement by Bulungibwansi Canada and other background materials. Kindly circulate to your networks in the UK & Europe, USA, Canada & North America, South Africa, Asia and other Ugandan Diaspora Communities.
We are excited with this ground-breaking development and look forward to hosting many such Ekisaakaate Kya Nnabagereka (EKN) Diaspora, in the future.
BACKGROUND.
‘Ekisaakaate’ is an enclosure, that was traditionally fenced a homestead of Kabaka’s (King of Buganda), Chiefs (Abaami ba Kabaka) and other high ranking personalities in society in Buganda, where good values, disciplines and cultures were developed. Inside the “Ekisaakaate” young Baganda children were taken for cultural grooming, leadership development, and acquisition of moral and other social skills, knowledge on cultural practice and values, as well as occupational skills.
Her Royal Highness the Nnabagereka (Queen) Sylvia Nagginda of Buganda Kingdom in Uganda realized that there is a great need to salvage cultural values and beliefs and to restore a ‘holistic’ generation in our society, following the moral decadence in society. Through the Nnabagereka Development Foundation (NDF) that Envisions: ‘A Leading African Foundation Celebrating Positive Culture and Providing Development Solutions”, HRH The Nnabagereka developed a concept of the Ekisaakaate Kya Nnabagereka (EKN) in the year 2007 as key flagship programme of NDF. Ekisaakaate kya Nnabagereka (EKN) is a youth camp organized by NDF to address one of NDF’s Strategic Objectives of Social Transformation through Obuntubulamu / Ubuntu. EKN has since become a household brand and international leading mentorship and leadership development programme.
The ‘Ekisaakaate’ program aims at nurturing young girls and boys into ‘holistic’ persons, social managers and leaders who appreciate and harmonize both traditional and modern values.
In detail, Ekisaakaate aims at:
EKN Mission: “To Nurture a New and Complete Society by Educating People On The Basis
Of Our Motto”
Our Motto: “SEE, LEARN, and ACT
OUR JOURNEYS OF GROWTH: EVOLUTION OF EKISAAKAATE KYA NNABAGEREKA OVER THE YEARS
