We encourage ICT Teachers, especially those around Entebbe and neighbouring districts to attend this WordCamp in order to master how to create professional websites which can help them start to earn additional income, as well as empowering them to be in position to support their schools in development and management of schools websites in this information age where it is becoming mandatory for everyone to have web presence.

Accomodation arrangements for residents

Private arrangements for accomodation for members coming from far will be made like last time at Wordcamp Kampala. This time we shall be at Nkumba University, I believe members can get some affordable one-day accomodation in surrounding towns kitooro, kitala, abaita ababiri, etc. We are doing a survey and shall keep updates flowing in as the camping date approaches.

Otherwise, members who will be able to commute from home or from Kampala will be good to go! For further inquiries of accomodation arrangements, call me (Rogers) on 0776960740/0706060740
