Overview

In front of the Butambala Nursery School in Lugala Village, Uganda, where children are engaged in their lesson, a chicken approaches the classroom. It watches from the doorway at first, just as an observer. Then slowly, carefully, it crosses the threshold into the classroom, noticed at first by just a couple of children, who suppress their laughter with their hands over their mouths. The teacher spots the chicken and chases it out. The chicken returns moments later, this time with a bit more intention. As it crosses back into the classroom, more students see and begin giggling. The teacher again chases the chicken out--this time with a broom. This interaction occurs many times, each time with the chicken becoming more determined to get in and the teacher becoming more determined to keep it out. This interplay, which inspired Suubi Goes to School, reflects the relentless determination of the local people to pursue education for themselves and for their children, with hope for a brighter future. Half of the proceeds from the book will go to fund the Butambala Christian Learning Center.
