  Description

  My name is John, I am aged 39 years old and a teacher. I am trustworthy, love children, dancing and music. I am the head of a kindergarten and primary school in Western Uganda in a town which is in the middle of the very popular Uganda National parks. We have Bwindi Impenetrable national park for mountain gorillas (the only only place in the world which has them!) and Queen Elizabeth national park for the rare tree climbing lions in the South, Rwenzori mountains national park for nature lovers and mountaineering in the North and Kibale forest national park for chimpanzees in the East.
  
  Our school is 10 years old, has 412 children- from kindergarten age to 14 years old. We have around 10 wonderful teachers and teach subjects such as Mathematics, English, Religious Education, Sciences, Geography, Music, Social studies and PE. :)
