| Overview of The Soul | |
 The Soul of Edirisa, almost exactly on the equator, is a snack bar and a multimedia centre nestling in a cool forest. It lies just before the gates of Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi (Mpigi, central Uganda).  Its close proximity to the university means that it is a place where students, locals and the staff of Studio Edirisa can mix together in a relaxed environment. The place was founded as "Eucalyptus Gardens" by Ambrose Kibuuka, Edirisa's co-founder. Our organisation took over in mid 2007.  After a fire destroyed it in Novemeber 2007 it was rebuilt with the help of the United World College of the Adriatic, thanks to the funds by Autonomous Region Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy).The studio interior was equipped with the help of DED.  The architect of the studio building was Aljosa Ferk (Slovenia) and the builder a Peace Corps volunteer Bill Korp (USA) with his young apprentices from St Mbaaga (Bwama). The studio interior remake was achieved by Gregor Strehovec (Slovenia). The total reconstruction of the site in 2010-2011 was led by Samo Acko, Andraz Tarman (Slovenia) and Alex Ndibwami (Uganda), with a big fireplace as the centre piece.
