# Effects and the Problems
Effects your students have gained
In Uganda, they have little opportunities to create
works. IIME gave a very good experience to them.
They practiced painting and made a muralindependently. And they acted in cooperation witheach other.

Points for further improvement
We have inadequate materials for practice andinadequate facilities to communicate effectively. We
should prepare tools and materials in time andpractice before the deadline.
