Without a doubt, the CPAR Uganda Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre in Lira City, is that kind of of perfect space for reading and writing.

While the Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre is right in the middle of the city, it is in a location that is unbelievably quiet. Safe for the sounds of nature, one can hardly hear any other sounds most of the time.

It has spacious outdoors with loads of tall shed trees and fruit trees that are laden with fruit all year round. At any given time of the year, there will be ripe fruit – mango, jack fruit, oranges, lemons, to name just a few of my favorites

Loads of green spaces – majority grounds covered with grass, with flowers and other ‘beauty shrubs’. I love the sound of wind blowing through trees. I love the sound of birds chirping patched on or nesting in trees.

I love, love, the sound of rain drops on tin-roofed houses. Especially, the light drops – so, I would opt for my reading and writing space to have tinned roofs, as does the Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre.

Spacious rooms indoors with minimalist furniture. A desk or reading table, a reading chair/sofa if you will or a recliner.

Electric power from the national grid, supplied by Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited, isn’t reliable, at the Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre, provision has been made for solar power and a backup generator.

This is the kind of perfect space for reading and writing that I would want to build and replicate elsewhere.
