The Vice Chancellor-Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe (5th L) poses with a group of volunteers from IYF at the event to bid them farewell on 30th December 2020, CTF1, Makerere University, Kampala Uganda.

Today I bid farewell to a group of young volunteers from the International Youth Foundation (IYF) who have been working in Uganda for close to two years. Makerere University values the collaboration with Korean organizations from which there is a lot to learn for the development of our country.
