The Trafford Jinja Association oversees the friendship link between the two communities, which began in 2002, following a visit to Jinja by the Major of Trafford. The link includes schools partnerships, health links, sports, young people, vocational training and music. Overall the link is about two communities learning about one another through friendship, fun and mutual respect. |
