The Kasubi Tombs

Last Tuesday night the historic burial ground of the Buganda Kings - the Kasubi Tombs - were seriously damaged by fire. The Buganda Kingdom is a significant traditional Kingdom within Uganda. Kampala is also the historic Capital of Buganda.

The fire is a cause of great sadness for many and there's been much discussion and debate these last few days as to the cause of the tragedy.

Ian will be working as a volunteer with VSO and he's set a fund raising target of £1,000 to be reached before setting off. Money raised will go to support VSO's most pressing needs - it won't be used to fund Ian's placement.
