ABOUT UGANDA'S INDEPENDENCE.

Dear friends, how are you doing these days? We have not heard from you for long now. We hope however that you are well.
Today 09th of October is Uganda's Independence day. You know, Uganda was once a British colony but there are many nationalists who fought so that Uganda could rule herself.  This was long history ago before all of us at school were born, even our teachers were not yet born when Uganda got her independence.
On this day in 1962, the Union Jack was lowered as Uganda flag was raised to show that Uganda now has her independence from the British government.
On Monday in our class we discussed about the effects of Uganda's independence and it was an interesting topic.
We did also learn that USA was under British rule so many years ago. We said that whereas USA was ruled by Britain, she has developed ahead of Britain. So we agreed that Uganda can also grow richer as USA and Britain. 
The countries that were once British Colonies are under one body called the COMMON WEALTH COUNTRIES. Every after two years, there is a general meeting for these countries and it is called CHOGM, meaning; COMMON WEALTH HEADS of GOVERNMENT MEETING. In 2007, Uganda hosted this meeting and many presidents of member countries attended. The president of the hosting country becomes the chairperson for COMMON WEALTH for two years.
we have only been told about two leaders/ heads of Commonwealth and that is King George VI and the current Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II.
The supreme head of Common wealth is the Queen of England and she is called Queen Elizabeth II.
There is also a COMMONWEALTH GAMES that are played by all the member countries.
China, USA Canada normally take many medals.
Yesterday, we also played the INDEPENDENCE CUP, that was for just a single day and we won the trophy.
