The
Rotary Club of Kajjansi over the weekend held a two day Car Boot sale at the
Uganda Clays Grounds Kajjansi. The Car boot sale started on Saturday 28th and
ended on Sunday 29th April. It was well attended by Rotarians and members of
the community who thronged the grounds in big numbers and bought used but
usable items in aid of the destitute abandoned children we are looking after at
Buikwe.
It all started with a fellowship on Wednesday at
Dreams Guest House, where the Rotarians who had attended the District
Conference in Nairobi
The following day they cleaned the clothes and on
Friday, they all went to Rt. Apollo Kakunda’s place in Kigo to do the ironing,
sorting and labeling the items for sale. It was such a marvel to see Rotarians
working with one heart during the whole exercise.
Come d-day, the members enjoyed selling the items
the way people in down town St. Balikuddembe market do their trade. It was very interesting to see AG Kimera and
Rtn. Monica selling the items and enticing buyers in Luganda. President Peace
was everywhere like the MTN network. At one point in time you’d find him at the
molokony stall, then at the tent for crafts and in blink of an eye you’d find
him selling shoes.
P.E Enid spiced here trade by singing and dancing
thus attracting clients at her stall of jeans. You couldn’t miss Rtn. Isma and
Rtn. Flavia who were very busy counting every coin that came in, their eyes
were widely open, in that the times they blinked their eyes was not more than
four. Thanks guys for that enthusiasm.
PAG Charles Byanyima spent his time enticing
policemen to buy skirts and blouses for their spouses. Rtn. Mahogany who came
in at 4:00pm on Sunday amused buyers when he started selling belts saying that
they were good for bend over dance. He actually attracted a number for his
antics.
Pp Karooli and PP Theresa made sure that whoever
came in went back with something they would sweet talk them telling them how
the items were going to make them better family people, which enticed people to
buy at least one item.
Rtn. Juliet was wearing the widest simile ever,
when she saw people coming in one by one to buy items in aid of the destitute
children. You could read it from the way she walked with a swag across the
grounds.
When AG Ann came she couldn’t believe that the
Rotary Club of Kajjansi could do such a wonderful car boot sale. She went away
satisfied that ekintu kyabadde kya nnyo.
Rotarian Annet tried as much as possible to woo
police women to buy clothes for their children telling them how such children
would become inspectors of Police. This enticed the female police officers to
buy for their children so that they don’t miss the chances in future “anti ebirungi biri mu maaso”.
The others who made the car boot sale worth noting
included Rtns Andrew and Rose who danced paka chini to the amusement of the
buyers who wondered why the two couldn’t join Amarula family.
Rtn. Adrine and her Andy made sure people had
something to eat and drink. Others included Rtn. Mukalazi, Rtn. Rose and our
new Rtn. Frank.
Yes Rtn. Hajati Safina was busy selling anti-aging
creams to every lady who visted her stall and by the look of things she left
the show grounds a satisfied lady.
Rotaractors from Kisubi did a wonderful job with
their little ones the interactors from New Hitech. They did almost all the work
you can think of from singing songs calling customers to packing customers’
goods in buvera.
IPP John
Mary came in walking in a swagarific way nodding his head as a sign of
satisfaction that RC Kajjansi had not ashamed him.
And of course yours truly was busy taking both
motion and still pictures to tell the story afterwards.
Thanks everybody who made this car boot sale a
worthwhile event. We also that thse Rotary Clubs that visted and participated,
Kampala central, Entebbe, Kampala South, Kyengera, and our Rotaract club of
Kisubi Brothers University, and Interact Club of New Hitech SS
