My father has lived in Uganda for 25 years and in East Africa for over 50 years. I was born in Tanzania and ‘Asha’ is a very popular East African (and Indian) name.After not seeing my father during the entire pandemic my 3 siblings and I decided to spend Xmas 2021 with him and we all travelled from different countries to be together. We had a great holiday.On Sunday 19th December 2021 with the help of the Ugandan Skating Federation and the Skating Club of Kampala (headed by Lumala Reagan), we organised a free event involving a day of workshops. These included children and young people, intermediate level skills, speed skating and instructor development sessions.Skaters of all ages and ability levels attended and I particularly enjoyed the short laser coaching sessions with different students. I found the surfaces VERY challenging and will never complain about a rough surface in the UK again!Video filmed by Asha’s brother.Edited by @skaterstu_brightonskateIf you’d like to see more skating in Uganda, check out the following sites;Instagram: @skatingclubofkampalaFacebook: Uganda SKating Federationhttps://www.facebook.com/Uganda-Skating-Federation-108964937165875/PobsGiddy Inline Skaterhttps://youtube.com/channel/UC810fs-RT74GhuKlksOSEygWho is Asha?
