Have you ever experienced a crisis? Uganda has experienced three times of famine. The first one came from 1980 to 1981. We learned about this in stories and riddles. I was a baby then, just about two years. Then somewhere around 1994, another famine struck. I was a teen with a stomach working like the way a Hammer consumes fuel. This famine found us not ready for it. Our family did not know anything like storing food in silos and the like. I was in Munteme village, in Hoima District, when some tinned food arrived thanks to the World Food…
