🇺🇬 Regarding raising money for the school. I will post about it on my Instagram @realbaldandbankrupt when Ben releases his video about the school next Monday. If anyone wants to throw $5 in it will be appreciated by those little shoeless future porridge drinkers.

Wow, this is really fun to watch. Thanks for the classroom Ben.
Ugandans just have a cool sense of humor and they are absolutely fire for this
Mzungu in the context of Ugandans especially in Bantu ethnic communities of East Africa or parts of Southern Africa means Wonderer as some have mentioned. However, it is not meant to be racist but a term for foreigners with lighter skin. It was adopted especially when Europeans arrived at the coast of East Africa and fearing the locals, they would try to get their way into the interior without proper guides. They would walk in circles and find themselves back to the point where they started their journey having lost track. Another belief is that because of the language barrier the European explorers or Missionaries couldn't communicate their intentions of visiting native communities and the natives decided to call them wonderers aka Mzungu (singular) or Bazungu (Plural) as people who are just wondering around without a proper plan. For centuries the MZUNGU term has been adopted for a foreigner with lighter skin colour than the locals are used to.

It's not a racist term, since English is even called oluzungu in Luganda!

Yes, a lot of African countries call white people terms by their skin color. Even in Haiti they say, "Blanc" for white. In a lot of western countries it is inappropriate to refer to someone by their skin color. It comes off as racist. But what you wrote makes plenty of sense.
Thanks for taking us along with you in your trips. I hate traveling but I love to see the world through your adventures

Is that you backpacker Ben? 🧐
Hahaha Kampala is the capital Entebbe is literally just the airport pretty much! You are in my favorite place in Africa! I love Uganda! Best people on earth ❤
Finally an advert that I can really use. Saily looks good. 😄
You’ve retraced the exact path I took 16 years ago. This brings back such fond memories. I am so happy to see the Ugandan citizens are still just as welcoming and friendly to Mzungus. Cheers!
Loved it! The people of Uganda are very nice, thank you for showing people this. I am looking forward to seeing you in Eastern Europe once again. Thanks Benjamin
I have nothing against ads if it can help mr bald be less bankrupt and travel more and long😂❤
Wow!, I love what Ben did for these locals. Thank you so much for giving back
The deleted scene at the end was amazing. The cake-faced lady just going: "Surrrpriiiiiise!" fucking A+ timing running into that one.
Bless you, Ben, for building that school!!!! Love you both, and always happy to see you, Bald!
$5500 is really nothing to build a class room. When I am paid from work I will 100% donate this is a great cause. Also Ben have you heard of Dale Philip? He is also a travel blogger from Scotland I think a cross over video with you guys would be really interesting.

Thank you very much. Be blessed
I really enjoyed this video. My first trip outside of Canada was to Uganda (I was crazy) and I saw tons of things that really... changed my worldview and my life in many ways. The people were also just simply the best, so friendly and welcoming, inviting me into their homes. Lots of memories I'll never forget, like holding an AK-47 while our guide forded us across a muddy river filled with crocs (first time I've held a firearm!), being told life jackets only drag out your inevitable death on a boat since the crocs or hippos will kill you, best take your chances trying to swim to shore or drown quickly... and I could go on. Uganda is always in my heart, and even seeing this video like a 13 years after I was there it's changed so much.

Lugard's fort on Old Kampala Hill was the Ugandan colonial administrative headquarters until 1905, when it was moved to Entebbe. In 1962 Kampala (a municipality since 1949) became the capital of independent Uganda. Kampala was the ancient city of the approx. 700 year Buganda Kingdom.
