National Agricultural Show 2011

Phase 1 of the Tjeko Fun Fair project is being concluded with an impressive presence at the National Agricultural Show in Jinja. During this show, promoting new farming tecniques for the Ugandan farmer, there is a LOT of entertainment availible for the general public. On the 16 acres that the show covers, more than 35% is reserved for 
ENTERTAINMENT. 
Tjeko is new at this show, and allows children to enjoy some Tjeko activities for the price of a mango! For only 15cents children can go write the Tjeko Karts, enjoy a round of mini-golf, or spent some time jumping on the trampolines. 
Tjeko wants to test its concept in this first phase, and our participation at the show shows us what kids really are willing to pay for. Every day our tickets sales have DOUBLED. Today we are estimating to sell more than 400 tickets just today, putting our total well over 1000 and we are just half way the week!
