“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 HOPE. Is a very powerful ingredient for quality life. When I had just arrived in Kampala, I was so mesmerized seeing so many tall buildings. So many cars. I will never forget that first experience. I vividly remember the trip. My elder brother was seeking nomination for the position of Youth MP, Western region a race that included powerful contestants like Maj Rabwoni Okwir. I boarded the bus to Kampala,…
Winning at the work place
What is wrong with the young people? Where exactly did you get this boy? I am disappointed. During interviews, we asked him: can you work under pressure? He said, yes. And that he likes work that requires him to put in more effort. On coming to work early, he said that since his childhood, he has been going to class by 7:00am! He is used to waking up early. He even joked that unless you want me at 4 am! We were all happy that you had identified for us a great employee. He not only had great marks in…

She likes, he likes: what your partner’s activity on social media means

Thanks to social media especially Facebook, Twitter and Whatsup, folks can now gain almost 100% access into their partner expectations of them by just following what they ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ online.

You may give money or items still in a good working condition which you no longer use.
