Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni on Saturday hosted a 10-year-old Kenyan girl in Rwakitura’s home in Uganda.
The girl, Sheilah Sheldon Charles was accompanied by her mother during the tour.
The girl made Museveni’s Easter holiday memorable after presenting him with more portraits.
Her visit came after Museveni’s invitation during his tour in Kenya barely a month ago.
The Ugandan head of state, who has promised to work with his Kenyan counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta, could not hide his joy after receiving the rare gifts from the young Kenyan artist. He shared several photos of him and the Sheila.
“My muzukulu from Mombasa, Sheila Sheldon Charles, visited me in Rwakitura with her mother as we agreed she would, when I met her during my recent state visit to Kenya. Nine-year-old Sheldon is a visual artist. In Mombasa, she offered me a painting and requested to visit me during the Easter holidays,” he said through his official Twitter handle.
Museveni also thanked Uhuru for supporting the artist in her education. He noted that the girl is needy because of her parent's wanting financial status
“I thank President Uhuru Kenyatta for supporting her education given that her parents were unable. Talent of whatever form should be nurtured alongside formal education. I thank her for the gifts she brought me, he added.
