MAKERERE INTERNATIONAL HOSTEL
As we saunter along Kimera road, a rather elongated inscription shrouding a storey structure whose exterior wall is clothed in a beautified arrangement of red half bricks attracts our attention. This inscription is clearly placed on a whitish painting at the beam area in distinct sky blue captions. MAKERERE INTERNATIONAL HOSTEL….it reads.
Our arrival at the facility meets a courteous reception of an ageing gentleman with an air of respectable fatherly looks shinning in a pair of sizeable spectacles.
