Activities that were carried out during the community outreach at Soroti city of which include activities in abattoir meat inspection which included arte-mortem and post-mortem, office practice where I did data entry, germination test and activities in field which were data collection on agro inputs and many others activities as indicated in the report This program had a great Impact on me as I was able to relate class room knowledge to the real field experience which improved on the development of my career. The farm and outreach program was done successfully though there were some challenges but managed to overcome and basing on this experiences gained I recommend the city council to make clear program for internees to follow as most times there be no clear program for activities, conduct proper mobilization of the to avoid poor turn up for city programs organized by officers.
