It seems the three occasions where the normally quiet and reserved Timothy Girls to ‘come out of their shells’ are sporting activities, music/drama presentations, and debates! Today they had a Friday afternoon debate in the dining hall and they surprised us with their well articulated arguments and their passion to defend their positions.
Debating is a very popular activity in Ugandan schools, as it gives the students opportunity to practice their oral English skills and develops clear and critical thinking.
If today’s debate is any indication, these young women have great potential to become effective leaders in important discussions in this country!
