Supposing you wanted to read about the woman who gave birth to river Nile, or the fact that the Greeks borrowed fables and story-telling from their interactions with Africa or the fact that Africa has so much she can contribute to the world all and is draped in diversity! Come, let me take you to that journey please! What? You don't talk to strangers?

written in form of imposing buildings whose sheer size is mesmerizing and the
shared space between vast water ways, escarpments, huge rues, streets, avenues,
promenades and the side-by-side French-English lettering is a unique and
galvanizing taste for any beholder.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl0MWhNzV4ZixStzl6KlMq9-pCmDhrOd2rTirqyT8Hx8_bI4clWbZXRlpUQtCFcum96d3jPpIGF3ObMHI1xQBwNhwtSQI0YEF9h5ogFtTd0_JoIEIaDPzBFhsBvIU5SMncyl5nngNST-MDIw8I95ds6mMMU_S_2eOz8bJfjTdhG13MUzC9D6IPFiSG2ZI/s770/Ottawa-2.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="770" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl0MWhNzV4ZixStzl6KlMq9-pCmDhrOd2rTirqyT8Hx8_bI4clWbZXRlpUQtCFcum96d3jPpIGF3ObMHI1xQBwNhwtSQI0YEF9h5ogFtTd0_JoIEIaDPzBFhsBvIU5SMncyl5nngNST-MDIw8I95ds6mMMU_S_2eOz8bJfjTdhG13MUzC9D6IPFiSG2ZI/s320/Ottawa-2.webp" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">National War Memorial Courtesy of Ontarioway.com</div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; text-align: justify;"><p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p>It is the beautiful
capital city of Canada, marinated in epochal historical events, stunning
jaw-dropping architecture, heart-stirring picturesque parks, the crowd-pulling
and memorably iconic Rideau Canal.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The city is spread far
and wide nestled with comfortable residences a ride away from the numerous
national museums telling tales of the happenings bygone; cultural institutions
showcasing the mingling of traditions from all over the world; markets such as
the Byward Market and Le Moulin de Provence displaying local and diaspora
delicacies and wares; and the charming streets like York, Rideau and Dalhousie
streets whose roadside cobbled curbs are wide enough to allow impromptu
community fairs make this city a popular destination for tourists and residents
alike.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Seeing Ottawa from the
comfort of a bus, car, bus or train for a first timer like me, gives one a
glimpse of a city and surrounded by vegetation, skies, water bodies and other
forms of nature. It is a magnet of vibrancy with many people walking with
purposeful strides, some sitting in corners smoking, others stomping the ground
and pulling thick jackets over their heads or any exposed part of the body. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At one point one cannot
help to wonder who hauled all that iron, steel, copper or bronze through the
narrow streets and up the embankments to erect statues or guns whose sight
draws many people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The red, brown, yellow,
green and glass windowed trendy restaurants and bars with sweet mouth-watering
aromas are filled with clients ordering this or that. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The large health
facilities, universities, tech and business centers make this city a bus place.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For the outdoorsy that
enjoy long walks, hiking, skiing, or kayaking, Ottawa never disappoints. It is
exciting to be in Ottawa. Indeed do the Ottawa. Some of the pictures we have

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Pulled by the tail-end of the year 2023 and hurled forward by the flag-bearer
days of 2024, I barreled through Nairobi, Kampala, Entebbe, Amsterdam, Mexico
City, Washington DC, New York, Buffalo, Niagara City, Toronto City, Ottawa City
to Rockland and made them my homes away from home.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Travel expands one’s perception and understanding
of life surrounding one whether at the immediate or distant vicinity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Travel is a medium through which one fulfils plans
made earlier about a journey. It is a mental, physical, cultural, emotional, spiritual,
economic and social exercise. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">How one relates contributes to one’s self-esteem,
self-worth, self-recognition and self-preservation. When one travels they have
in mind five things: to arrive at a given destination; experience the journey; be
able to make the connection between staying the course as well as fulfilling the
requirements of the journey such as having all one’s documents in order; noting
landmarks and learning from the experiences of travel; and ensuring that the
journey adds value to one’s meaning of life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">I started this journey from Kenya’s bustling
Nairobi where I took a bus on the 24</span><sup style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">th</sup><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">/12/2023. I had to book a
hotel room to be nearer to the bus station and it enabled me to check in earlier
too even if the bus came an hour after the designated time of departure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">I used the time before the arrival of the bus to
strike conversations with potential travel-mates. Among these mates were those who would sit next to during the next 500+ miles to
Kampala which would be covered through the entire night. I like to converse and ask about other people when traveling. I intended to break the ice earlier so that once I start asking questions people will feel comfortable talking and sharing experiences.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">I got to know many Ugandans, Sudanese, Ethiopians,
Eritreans and Kenyans who were going to Uganda for Christmas time using that
same bus.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">By 6:00 am we were in beautiful Kampala City on
Christmas Day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Earlier on in December 2023, I had made up my mind
to travel to Mexico City, Toronto and eventually to Washington DC. However, it
was also Christmas time so I had to start small and progress onwards. I enjoy traveling
in order to get away, be able to see places and getting to feel the physical
world again after being closed up in the virtual or zoom. I have done a lot of
virtual interactions that I have forgotten what it means to live in a physical
world. I am sure travel will bring back some of that experience.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Christmas came and went. On the 27</span><sup style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">th</sup><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">/12/2023,
I went to book all my tickets with my favourite flier, the KLM. I enjoy the
activities that go on as one makes the booking, waits, pays and gets the satisfaction
that any given task has been accomplished.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">The thrill that comes with traveling to the
airport, getting all the luggage checked in, approved, one allowed to walk
through the gates and hop onto the plane.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 16pt;">Travel Enriches and Fulfils:</span></p>

memories of the nearness of the cotton fluffy clouds as one takes to the sky

of life surrounding one, for now I know what it means to live in chilly
Toronto, Ottawa and Rockland. I know what it means to travel all night for so
many miles and sitting in crumpled space. I know what it means to have luggage fall on one's head (</span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">fortunately</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> the overhead stow away space in most of the buses accommodates tiny bags whose weight does not hurt that much). I know so well what it means to be dropped
off in a new town and immediately start looking for a tax-cab when your phone
no longer works but somehow you prevail. Travel has brought back what I had
taken for granted due to all these Zooms and virtual meetings.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Since first learning of the cluster of cases in Wuhan, China, CDC has rapidly advanced the science around this new human pathogen, SARS-CoV-2. CDC has been both on the forefront of understanding this new disease and led the nation’s efforts to protect Americans from infection. Currently, over 6,700 CDC employees have been engaged in the agency’s COVID-19 response, and over 1,200 of these staff have been deployed to nearly 200 different locations in the United States and abroad. CDC staff have conducted rapid investigations of outbreaks that identified highest-risk priority populations and settings. Understanding specific population-level vulnerabilities and how infections spread in various types of settings has been instrumental in the development of guidance that will help keep the American people healthy and allow critical infrastructure services to be provided safely. For example, after data emerged that contrary to expectation, SARS-CoV-2 could be transmitted by people without symptoms, CDC recommended that people wear masks around others who do not live in their households, especially in settings where it is difficult to maintain a distance of six feet. There is increasing evidence that masks help prevent people who have COVID-19, including those without symptoms, from spreading SARS-CoV-2 to others."<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-je0vjaEIoj4/X7npdSZknRI/AAAAAAAAgKA/D3xjnvO3cS4CSObsINmOCWlCqDOzehThACLcBGAsYHQ/s585/COVID-19-Vaccines-2020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="403" data-original-width="585" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-je0vjaEIoj4/X7npdSZknRI/AAAAAAAAgKA/D3xjnvO3cS4CSObsINmOCWlCqDOzehThACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/COVID-19-Vaccines-2020.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">The fear that the COVID-19 vaccine has been hastily made can be explained. Not all haste leads to waste. In some cases, haste is informed by knowledge and safety-based standard operating protocols (SOPs).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">CDC defines COVID-19 as a new disease, caused by a novel (or new) coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans. This new disease, officially named Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization (WHO), is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In dealing with a multi-agency approach has been adopted.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working closely with other government partners in this response. Congress passed the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020; the Families First Coronavirus Response Act; the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act; and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. These laws have provided additional resources, authorities, and flexibility. Within HHS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Assistant Secretary for Health, along with additional components not represented today, play critical roles in the response to this public health emergency. All in all, a vaccine safety chain comes into existence.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">The U.S. vaccine safety system ensures that all vaccines are as safe as possible. Safety is a top priority while federal partners work to make a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine(s) available.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;

It was a late afternoon and the clouds were gathering over Mount Kenya.<br />
<br />
Nyeri is one of the County Government towns in Kenya.<br />
<br />
It is lovely and in it, one finds women, men, young adults and adolescents hard at work.<br />
<br />
I am glad, I managed to be taken around the different places and saw how dedicated to work people are.<br />
<br />
This was part of my research and community immersion session that started in August. I am now about to compile all my reports. But, through it all I am so happy I managed to meet so many people who are so friendly.<br />
<br />
I did research into Drug use disorder and how interventions are sought. Or, whether services exist. I then developed a plan to support communities to engage in understanding the threats paused by drug misuse. I hope to continue with more stories.<br />
<br />
Towns or cities, open up many potentials I realised.<br />
<br />
For Nyeri Town, the potential is seen in the rapidly increasing housing estates.<br />
<br />
Did you know Lord Baden Powell was buried in Nyeri. I read about his works and times in Zimbabwe. Then, it was still called Rhodesia. South Rhodesia to be precise.<br />
<br />
There is so much to catch up to in Nyeri. But, for me visiting that artisan workers and other hard working people was a climax of it all.<br />
<br />
I hope you will, one day, come and visit.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am a student at St. Mary's College of California. I first heard of the De La Salle Brothers in 2014 through a person who took me under his roof, at a very nice apartment in San Francisco, CA. Pardon me, I was a live-in care provider who according to my first contract was only to live-in during the weekend.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As it turned out, pretty much the way life can turn about, the gentleman decided I stay until one of us departed. I was grateful for this gesture and kept on praying for his longevity.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This blog, is my testimony of how my life as a new American has been imbued with catalytic enthusiasm and focus. This is not to say that my life in Africa was any lesser as far as enthusiasm went. I guess, one can say that life anywhere brings with it challenges, necessities, battles, victories, foibles, intricacies, motivators and demotivators.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got the opportunity to meet and study under the De La Salle Brothers finally in 2016. I was introduced to the Lasallian Core Values at St. Mary's College of California.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, I shall be amiss if I did not start with a story about the gentleman who allowed me to become his live-in care provider and one who allowed me to look at life's twists and turns positively.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a new American, I am so happy I got to see the parts of life that give one the glimpse into an American lifestyle that is so empowering.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To work as a live-in care provider, affords one opportunities to learn the intricacies of American life that is hard to know of unless one is set in a home. A home, where one learns to use space, time, intellect, hands and interpersonal relational skills as well as forming the emulable attitude of a survivor.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learnt how to prepare Texan Ranch/Farmer meals, the difference between lunch and dinner and all those Texan kitchen and table chores that make foods available. The notion of food security is very central to a meaningful existence. This galvanized both of us even further.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> You guessed right, my host was a Texan. He was a retired Berkeley Professor of Calligraphy and Art. A well traveled person, who told me he regretted why he never went to any African country at all. Yet, he had gone to all other continents, not once or twice but many times.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I re-assured him that Africa lives in everyone of us. Because, we were all the African Eve's children. This reassured him and he set about reading anything and everything on Africa. The two years I spent with him, made me rediscover myself and instilled in me a respectful fearlessness to lead a better life every minute. This man, taught me to dig deeper, strive harder, laugh heartily, venture further and always learn something new as well as courting humility. He always said: To be humble is the next breath of life.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He also introduced me to the De La Salle Brothers! They also go by two other names: The Christian Schools Brothers or The FSCs.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Brothers taught me further, the richness of God, the bounty in form of talents before us and how as humans we can proactively love each other even if we are not known to each other. All it takes for a happier life is manners, good conduct, dignity and respect for one another. I thank the Christian School Brothers for that inertia and love.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I traveled to Kenya for the Summer. I got the chance to work with refugees, students and people living with HIV in Africa. I lost most of my luggage and with it all the pictures where I was with the refugees and Persons Living With HIV.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My sojourn, was split into two episodes.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I was lucky the pictures where I worked with St. Mary's Secondary School in Nyeri, Kenya were taken by a Brother. I am so grateful for his kindness!</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My story will be more around my work within and around St. Mary's S.S. which is headed by Brother Peter Kombe, a very energetic, focused and benevolent mentor to all who meet him. I personally, am so happy to have met him and the opportunity to meet and live with three other Brothers who ran the institute as a team. All the Brothers, have a long list of achievements behind them. All of them have been teachers, mentors, directors and friends to many all the time they have served as Brothers. St. Mary's S.S in Nyeri is a complex right in the middle of Nyeri Town. The school provides both liberal and Vocational Courses. When you get the chance and time, visit the Brothers or if you can take time off and spend your holidays at St. Mary's S.S., Vocational Training And Child Rescue Center.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know how to evaluate social development entities, I have skills in training communities to address self determination and economic issues and engage in Poverty eradication drives.This time around I was interested in linking student vocations to communities. I set out to work with a Brother who was in-charge of the Vocational Department. My goal was to contribute to organizing the Vocational Department into a catalyst stimulating quality learning. My tips ranged from how to make schedules, work plans to writing blogs.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope through the pictures and more blogs you will walk with me and enjoy the experiences I share with you. More blogs are on the way. Enjoy!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi there!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I set about to spend this Summer in Africa. I wanted to immerse myself among cultures that use Swahili for communication. I chose Kenya because of its cosmopolitan nature and its being the Eastern Africa hub.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You may want to visit the UN agencies, most of the embassies or just take in the diversity of nationalities? Come to Kenya. You will meet almost everyone from any corner of the world in general.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In my case, I wanted to do the more mundane. I wanted to meet refugees, asylum seekers, people living with HIV, Girls who have had children by the time they were 15 years, communities as they go about their chores.....you name it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Definitely, I also wanted to sample the local foods, take in the night life and most of all visit the vast Savannah areas from Marsabit, Samburu to Mountain Kenya. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At a continental level, Africa has some very nice spots that one with a Summer bucket list should add.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At country-level, Kenya has some of the awe inspiring destinations. I went to many but Nyeri took the highest points. One, because while there I got a chance to engage in a social development consultancy on a volunteer basis.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also got the opportunity to live with the Brothers of Christian Schools (Nyeri Community). They are a wonderful people. This same Community hosts St. Mary's College of California La Sallian Immersion Volunteers. So, when I got to see pictures of some students I knew from the College I was more the happier. One day, when I meet them I know we shall have so much to talk about.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Director of the Brothers' Community, took me around the entire School complex. It is officially called: St. Mary's Secondary School, Vocational and Child Rescue Center (Nyeri, Kenya).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After the tour, I made up the decision to immerse myself in a task whose outcome was two fold:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. To consolidate over 40 years of service into a service package that stimulates continued learning and sharing for the students who join St. Mary's S.S. (as they like to call it).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. To work with the Brothers of St. Mary's S.S. Nyeri Community, develop memoranda through which tracking of progress at the Vocational Department of St. Mary's is possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This took me to different places of Nyeri because it was also a time to put in practice the saying: <b><i>"Work, work, work without play makes Jack a dull person!"</i></b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The nature of the provider-consumer relation of HIV services further translates into claimants and elite groups who influence sexual-reproductive health policies. Three regime contexts were found to influence HIV response. A hindering context goes so much further to provide opportunities for rule of law, enforcement and empower women to report without fear of repercussions. A restrictive context goes on far enough but allows for those with power to buy themselves out of courts and police. Women are not protected from repercussions even if they can report abuses. In a supportive context, abuses go unreported and women are at the mercy of men!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Paternalistic, coercive and occasionally manipulative roles of the elites keep hegemonic male dominance intact. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">An examination of 4 Sub-Saharan African countries finds that the interests of claimants have marginal impact on who decides whether or not to uphold protected sex practices among spouses. </span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Protected sex practices depend on significant political backing and enforcement of legal gender equality; facilitating knowledge and skills; religious and traditional beliefs into role equity and change. Namibia and Kenya have hindering regimes addressing abuses, fostering legitimate, collective, respectful regard for females and males. State sponsored social services encourage equitable access (role equity). </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Although, sexual consent reflects more male dominance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Uganda has a restrictive context with loopholes in ensuring legal, equal gender rights exploited by both sexes/genders with financial means. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In South Africa, the supportive context for abuses fosters political, religious and traditional factors demeaning the status of women. Women negotiate for safer sex, but this is seen as emasculating men. This is circumscribed as a threat to male dominance, giving in to women and shift of power from males (role change).</span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Safer and protected sex breaks the HIV transmission cycle. However, public ideas on safer or protected sex are tolerant where role equity is promoted. But, repressive where males feel threatened. Role change fears are cited in restrictive and hindering countries. Fear of courts or police cases are a motivator to uphold dignity in supportive countries. Further studies are called for into how precarious hegemonic masculinity and negative stereotypes impact HIV Programming.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">When it comes to birth control, women who are the primary beneficiaries and when it is rolled back, they suffer most. The Trump administration’s Health and Human Services (HHS) Division has expanded exemptions to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirement that employers’ health care plans provide no coverage for no-cost birth control. In doing this, they have singled out a women’s health benefit. The administration stated that requiring insurance plans to cover birth control imposes a substantial burden to the free exercise of religion guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, and could promote risky sexual behavior among adolescents.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">The list of no-cost birth control contains such options like: combined pill; contraception implant; contraception after having baby; contraception injection; contraception patch; contraception vaginal ring; diaphragm and caps; Long acting reversible contraception; Progestogen-only pill; sterilization; and Natural family planning. According to the list about three options can be used by men but the rest are used by women. Rolling back the birth control coverage is an attack on women, their families and an affront to working couples. The Obama-era Affordable Care Act made contraception an essential standard of care under women’s preventive health care. It was covered under most insurance plans, along with prenatal care, breast exams and well-woman visits. The birth control mandate compelled for-profit employers to cover the full range of contraceptives, including the pill, the intrauterine device and the Plan B morning-after pill, at no out-of-pocket cost to women. Exemptions for churches and nonprofit religious organizations were made. Now, the Trump Administration is making it much broader to allow any boss to object to the coverage. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">It is a set back on the quality sexual and reproductive health and leaves women without access to contraception. The demographics show that this will affect many homes. More than 55 million women currently have access to free birth control according to data compiled under the Obama administration. The new rules would also affect hundreds of thousands of women.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>According to the National Health Statistics reports there are more numbers of women of childbearing age 15-44 years living under marital or cohabiting status. Many of these opted for contraceptions but also have a strong desire to have children. This reflects the needs of women embedded in a milieu promising better and quality life. During the Obama-era Birth control options, enabled employers to offer women health care coverage that met their medical needs. There are several advantages society benefits from having women have Birth control and these are:</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Birth control creates an opportunity to have a child when parents are ready. Both the mother<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and father are able to engage in all necessary preparations culminating in child-bearing. Through counselling and assessment the following services can be made available: birth control; abortion; men’s sexual health; early pregnancy services; and gynecologic services including routine well woman care, breast exam, pap smear, health screening, colposcopy, screening, HPV vaccination, treatment of sexually transmitted, vaginal, and urinary tract infections.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Birth control is a knowledge platform where information and support on sexual reproductive health for both females and males men is exchanged. It enables sexually active persons to receive tailored, planned<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>information, communication, education and other necessary interventions from trained or specialized health providers.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Birth control unlocks possibilities for beneficiaries to participate in planned births, antenatal and post natal care. This may include all birth control options and attendant medical services for adults as well as teens.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Birth control ensures both parents have access to services promoting family based sexual health. Parents are able to receive services which impact positively on how they look after themselves and their children. The health knowledge of both parents is increased since they can access health improving information.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Birth control increases the number of opportunities sexual reproductive health as an issues is brought up at work and at households. This improves decision making and forms positive attitude toward paternal, maternal and child health outcomes. The decisions may range from proper use of paternity and maternity leaves, planned recreation, bonding, nutritional health to overall safety of the home.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Obamacare contraception mandate of August 2012 made contraception free to many American women, with the share of women spending any out-of-pocket costs on oral contraception plunging from 20.9% in 2012 to 3% in 2015. The out-of-pocket money was then made available to purchase other commodities in the market that promoted quality life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Birth control is a benefit that gave working women an opportunity to lead more thriving quality live needs challenging. Erasing it out deprives them of that one crucial key to quality well-being. Birth control in the hands of women improves on the quality of households which in turn improves the quality of a nation. Men should not assault women. That is worse enough. But, using law to attack the dignity of womanhood is the worst they face now.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Women's health, as a theme, is a single factor that interests me. If our mothers are healthy, we would have a quality motherhood and a wealthy nation. The social, economic, environmental, and cultural factors in which women are able to negotiate, access, demand and provide health should be the policy within which health providers address the full physical and mental health of women. The expected benefits are drawn from strategies by governments to influence public health. The strategy is " to directly provide programs and services that are designed to meet the health needs of populations, (Turnock, B.J., 2016).”</span></div>

<span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Life is a series of timelines in which women and men have strived to cause an improvement and transformation of the standard of living and dignity of women and therefore that of humans. </span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Literature and music have been used as vehicles through which calls for social change have been shared. Social change is a deliberate process of creating and applying ideas, strategies, and actions to promote the worth, dignity, and development of individuals, communities, organizations, institutions, cultures, and societies (<a href="http://class.waldenu.edu/"><span class="s2">class.waldenu.edu</span></a>). </span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">My understanding of social change is when institutionalizing mechanisms allow people in society to be seen as stakeholders in community development. What stands out more for me is; participation by both women and men in development.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">

</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Eve Ensler is a twenty-first century writer and in her book “In the body of the world” she points out the useful outcomes resulting from women empowerment . She mentions the “city of joy that follows the decision to involve women and a life force full of grace, gratitude, fierceness and readiness that replaces trauma and pain with safety, healing and a gathering of strength,” (Ensler, E. (2013). The Seneca falls declaration of 1848 is a nineteenth century document in which women spelt out “secure equal participation with men in the various trades, professions and commerce,” (Stanton, E. C., & Mott, L. (1848)). <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Listening to the song “We are family” one can’t help but realize the benefits of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>women empowerment. The lyrics replace<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>male supremacy with family. The traits of supposition of the supremacy of man, e.g., monopoly, apathy, repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her are addressed by showing instead how family can bring about fuller dignity and human potential when the women is allowed to assume an equal position. The two examples from literature by two women and the song “We are family” by sister Sledge use the centrality of women as a force of social change for society.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">The song uses three words which are “we are family.” It is a strong statement by female singers and the accompanying lyrics are simple to follow. As a sing along song it takes one on a descriptive path showcasing the good outcomes of working as a family. The song which is delivered in third person plural has a main theme around a family. This is also a setting providing the bedrock on which sense of worth, pride, unity, sharing, dignity, expression, contribution and happiness are rooted firmly. The lyrics are simple and are a sing along type that a listener can identify with. The three lines of the chorus: “we are a family, I got all my sisters with me, we are a family, get up everybody and sing,” attract immediate attention and listenership. The first three lines in the first verse “everyone can see we're together; as we walk on by; (FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather,” suggest a bold testament followed by an affirmation of togetherness and resolve when the singers say with an unapologetic taunt which is both ironic and a climax:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>“I won't tell no lie; (ALL!) all of the people around us they say; can they be that close; just let me state for the record; we’re giving love in a family dose.”</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p3">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The song is a plot outlining such values like dignity, expression, contribution and happiness. It shows how easy it is for women to ensure dignity by presenting their ideas in a manner that is appealing; it is a means of expression that entertains and informs at the same time; and through the song, the singers have used music to rally many people. The lines in the second verse are motivational and go like this:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>“Living life is fun and we've just begun; To get our share of the world's delights; (HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future; and our goal's in sight; (WE!) no we don't get depressed; here’s what we call our golden rule; Have faith in you and the things you do;You won't go wrong.”</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p3">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p4">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The chorus is repeated six times in the song and this emphasizes the central position of the word family. In the chorus the four lines are used by the singers to mobilize society and point them towards the ideals of a family in which the woman and man play mutually necessary roles: “we are family;I got all my sisters with me;we are family;get up everybody and sing.” The song was written by sister Sledge a group of sisters and it insists on values such as unity which is also a mainstay in the literature by Ensler, Stanton and Mott. The song continues to take the conversation on the roles of women in making a thriving community further.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Life is a force full of grace, gratitude, safety, healing, dignity, expression, unity and happiness. These are redeeming qualities, that are emphasized in the two literature pieces and the song.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>These galvanize a reader or listener to advocate for women emancipation too.</span></span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In 2003, I was part of a team that mobilized people in what was a rural county (now Bukomansimbi District) in Uganda with a population of about 70,000 to witness the first PEPFAR grant disbursement. At long last, about 800 people would be assured of ARVs. I still hear from those people. Many are still alive up to today thanks to PEPFAR.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Mr. President, please continue with the support that America is contributing to the Global Fund mechanism. PEPFAR is flexible and the ease with which it can address the HIV-related needs has empowered communities to be resilient in the face of AIDS. I want to restrict myself to Africa.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Mr. President if the $ 4.3 billion the U.S. will contribute is instead withdrawn, there is a cascade of broken systems that will follow. PEPFAR filled up the extended family support void which was affected when able-bodied kin and kith died of AIDS in Africa. PEPFAR facilitated the presence of a conduit of prevention knowledge and skills. Communities developed the critical HIV care and advocacy competencies which are the major barricade through which TB and MDR TB will find a hard time breaching. Not to mention, additional HIV infection and AIDS-related deaths.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Mr. President I am, with the utmost humility, asking you please to provide the funds that the U.S. government committed to PEPFAR.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I look forward to hearing positively from you. I do follow you as one of your Tweeter fans. Actually I got to know<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>you the year you hosted President Gaddafi of Libya in New York.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><i>This tool seeks to provide focus on Holistic Life; HIV; and Heterosexuality. I have had so many occasions to reflect on these three aspects. I have provided online counselling and guidance services since 2006 on Holistic Life; HIV; and Heterosexuality. In 2012. I had my first client who was contemplating suicide and this awakened in me a deeper desire to meet and talk to different people who were suffering with questions they could not reveal unless pressed harder. Since then, I have talked with 30 people from Africa who were also contemplating or attempted suicide.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>19 of these were going through a troubling phase of self-rejection. They had discovered they were non-heterosexual or to what is said to be non-conforming. In all my work with different people from mentoring youths to moderating self help groups, I realized the idea of building ethos, pathos, logos and shared values is important as one makes self evaluation a life skill. I also noted that the tools or platforms which give direction into contemplative reflection for many of the people I talked to or opportunities to encourage them to read about keys to formation and development are in an inaccessible format. In helping them adhere to coping and adjusting, I noted there were other adjustment barriers. I tried my level best to help but was limited by time constraints and other logistics. All cases were facing a sexuality crisis. I did refer all of them for further management. I did send money to some for transport as well as refreshments. The 19 admitted to being asked to undergo religious healing or some form of conversion therapy because of their sexuality issues. I developed this tool to fill a knowledge gap and I called it the </i><b><i>Milestone analysis</i></b><i>. I have used it for many of my online counselling themes and found it was adaptable to many situations. The materials I used are from a number of sources including the frequently asked questions from my clients. This tool provides </i><b><i>sequenced cues</i></b><i> to be used to contemplate about and appreciate life. Contemplating life enables one be able to apply Band-Aid when it is needed in a timely manner. The materials are also an adaptation of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>what other Growth, Development and Motivation psychologists have used to help empower their clients employ Band-Aid.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Life is an incredibly beautiful and special experience. My premise is that life has many other domains<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and some examples are: orientation; attitudes; belief systems; gender; identity; Social and Emotional Development; Curiosities and approaches to Learning; Language, Literacy and Numeracy; Cognition, General Knowledge and Spatial abilities; The Arts; culturally determined norms; Physical Development and Health. There are those who are born, are able to grow and conform to the two aspects that are based on physical and biological statuses e.g.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>having all limbs, eyes, lips and intact organs; having what are considered normal body parts; ability to go through growth milestones; having an ability to follow instructions; and to perform tasks according to age. There are those who are born, are able to grow as non-conforming to one or both statuses. There are those who are born, are able to grow and engage in heterosexual relations. There are those who are born, are able to grow and engage in non-heterosexual relations. There is no doubt our bodies are defined by biology and continue to be refined by cultural ideology under the presumption that one’s socialization will influence one’s sexuality which in turn will be actualized as heterosexual. </i><b><i>But sometimes, it is not the case.</i></b><i> Non heterosexual eroticism is abhorred in the strongest terms possible including many countries enacting Penal codes punishing relations other than heterosexual ones. Structures for guidance, which include socialization, are cast around promoting heterosexuality buttressed by a legislation that is said to be conforming to natural laws and organized religion. Anything out of these boundaries have simply been made anathema and an abomination. Heterosexuality has become a concept against which people measure experiences in their lives. The 19 cases contemplated suicide once they found out they were non-conforming to a heterosexual normativity. This tool brings you 67 gentle reminders that there are plenty of amazing things out there for you to experience other than, or in addition to, suicide.</i></span></div>

Socialization is affected: emotional; social; cultural; and intellectual growth and development are affected. The way people achieve different keys or milestones are affected.

Some call homosexuality unbiblical and a blasphemous way of life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">Others say or write that homosexuality is the result of evil powers or some form of evil force. That rich nations continue to abuse poor nations even to the point of forcing them to legalise evil is another oft quote. That homosexuality corrupts core values of African culture has now gone stale. </span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: -0.24px;"><br /></span></div><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="4g56b-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: -0.24px;">A theologian called Rev. Dr Qeko argues in his blog that "people need to understand that there is a spirit behind any way of life that people practice and in this regard, there is a spirit of homosexualism and gayism which causes many mainly those from broken homes to decide otherwise. Those who say that they only realise that they were gay do that because there is a spirit behind their action and until that spirit is broken down and destroyed, they continue to practice this evil until they go to the grave. So what we need to do is to stand between the gap and intercede and break down this move and wind of evil spirit blowing from the western nations unto AFrica to force African nations legalise evil. African Church and people need to take their position and say no to the propagation of this evil practice, " ( ithandozami-qeko.blogspot.com/2011/10/dont-force-poor-african-nations-to.html). </span>

I differ on three points: There are various persons of the cloak who claim to be healing by touching the vagina, anus, penis, using the pulpit to preach vitriolic and perhaps ensuring that dwindling numbers of congregants are kept excited by a very exciting subject. </span>

Genesis 9:1 "And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth." Heterosexuality and the idea of condoned sexual intercourse should be made with extra critical analysis and synthesis of arguments. </span>

The angels and elders around God’s throne adore Jesus with the words “with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9). God enjoys the diversity within the human race. "We are each created in His image for His pleasure and glory" (Revelation 4:11; Colossians 1:16). "He designed us the way we are and delights in His handiwork" (Psalm 139:13–16). Revelation continues to describe the final gathering of God’s people from “every nation, tribe, and tongue” (Revelation 7:9). </span>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "San Francisco",-apple-system,system-ui,".SFNSText-Regular",sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -0.24px; margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Way back in time atop the furrowed navel of Africa was a lush Equatorial-Tropical green region with very many lakes filled with all sorts of fish and water creatures. The kingdoms are as many as the lakes in this region. In one of them,a young Son-Son was being prepared to take over from his ill Father-King who around 1862 AD had written to the Queen of England requesting for missionaries to bring a certain light to this part of Africa. Little did the Father-King know that this same light would burn so fiercely through heart, sinew, bone and make his a Holy Land. The Son-King was ready to take the reigns. A wonderfully powerful hand of the Divine was working its way to this land at the same time. Historically multi-racial and ethnic, his Kingdom had institutionalized citizenship and assimilation for any person. After all Buganda, meant, "to bring together different persons into a single cultural union." Buganda Kingdom is the name of this land. Buganda was made through cultural assimilation. It was not new for someone from a neighboring kingdom or chieftain to become a Muganda and get the king's blessing. Mentorship, benefactor-ship and patronage were some of the ways any person could end up living with someone who may or may not be a near kin. This was not unheard of! Buganda Kingdom subjects, all subjects submitted to the King and could be rewarded with positions of leadership if they proved themselves well. The king presided over so many matters including life and death. It was such that even a blade of green elephant grass was inventoried! The Son-King however soon realized his King-Deity character was being diluted. More and more he saw his near Divine-like aura slipping away. No longer were his snap commands heeded without questioning or debate! Unheard of in Buganda! New waves were sweeping through it so fast. It was no longer easy to bring back his father's glory days. The allure of a future excited and drew him in. It intoxicated and at the same time became a tempestuous wind blowing through his kingdom threatening to rip it apart. Or was it? This became the hunger and pain that coursed through this great Son-King. His kingdom had become a multi-denominational, Judaeo-Islamic-Christian and a venue for people from Arabia, India and those who walked at a faster pace (Bazungu) but with a lighter skin compared to Indians and Arabs. As a shepherd, like his father and the one's before him, he had to tend to the sheep he knew. But his was a unique position. Some new breeds bayed differently from what he was accustomed to. Not even the renowned kingdom priests could provide counsel. At this moment a political wilderness was eating up his kingdom. Would the king humble himself and climb a mountain of enlightenment? He contemplated going outside the normal channels but there was no precedence to refer to. His was a unique position. A young, virile king whose muscles rippled through the vestments, a black Nebuchadnezzar! One who would out-swim, outrun and out-wrestle many of his Army Generals. One with an acute discernment, a visionary and at the same time with a penchant for debating. This was the king whose human understanding was blind to the workings of a Divine power. So much must have been going through his mind: “I want to understand this strangeness in my kingdom,” he must have thought.</div>

That must have prepared his heart as a slab to write on. The Divine power with ways to inscribe knowledge onto our hearts started the inscriptions! That Divine Hand who makes our hearts into the very Promised Land! The same Hand beating all of us into humility was swinging in this region with Might. Head counting was taking place and the Divine wanted people who would say “here I am Lord!”</div>

Saying "“here I am Lord!" stripped many in this region of the vestiges of power, stature and position of old. At the same time replaced them with eye-opening vestments that would make many fit for attending the grand banquet where all humans drink of a blood and eat of a meal that give everlasting life. They would learn of the true name of the Divine whom they had previously known as Mukasa. A God known by the salutation “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob," would make it known to them too that He is the God of everything. Most of all He was the God whose awesomeness empowers all to overcome any form of fear.</div>

There came a spiritual hunger, the king's inner circle became converts to Christianity or Islam. The converts spoke of a baptism that broke the dark chains of miserableness. They were able to read and write. They debated with the king. They risked being called unpatriotic when they talked of a land where everyone shall be guest to a more powerful king. The king could have none of this. "Nonsense!" He must have said. He rounded up all converts and had them killed in the cruelest of forms. But, even when this happened his kingdom saw a multiplication of converts whose numbers still swell up to date. More confessed to being Christians or Moslems. The king shuddered before the might of God. His kingdom faced a turmoil in which he was forced into exile and while there was baptized. He became Daniel Mwanga (II). He now sits, in heavenly paradise, with the very Martyrs whose deaths he once ordered. Thus ends the story called: Uganda Martyrs, the Burning Bush and Holy Land of Africa.</div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This was the scenario that prompted the writing of this blog: Prophet Kakande healed a lesbian, who on renouncing her ways also confirmed the prophet's revelation in which he named all of her accomplices. Yes, this happened in Uganda. Pastor Kakande will soon have people flocking to his church for healing. Uganda has got a pastor who heals by touching or prayer. The pastor drives out homosexuality like Jesus drove demons out of people. The man of God will have his hands full. But, for a man of his caliber there is a Holy Spirit to run to. Right?</span><br />
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span class="s1">Pastor Kakande Samuel, a renowned Prophet in Uganda, is part of the religious who have used spiritual avenues to create comprehensive development for all people. In the case of his flock he guides them to share in the: opportunity to see a man whose thoughts are in line with God’s Word; sharing the refreshing God’s Word and Spirit to renew the strength of his followers. His outcome goals are hearts and minds filled with God's Word, who are able to talk, think, and act as beneficiaries of the Word. He is a staunch believer in renewal and submission to God’s Word and authority.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The Prophet Samuel Kakande of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations in Uganda has led his followers since late 1980’s. Those who go to his church say, he is a committed, prayerful and full of wisdom. He is a man with gifts and success to show. What many see about Prophet Kakande are three gifts namely of: prophecy, healing and loyalty. This has been the basis for his popularity in Uganda and internationally.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In a continent where social and support infrastructure run by religious or Faith-Based Organizations make up a sizable percentage it is no wonder that the religious have become important. The ones who are well established, wealthy and can provide opportunities for people to socialize and affirm their support mechanisms are symbols in those communities. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Pastor Kakande’s Synagogue Church Of All Nations in Uganda has been in existence for over 3 decades. It is a spiritual, healing and development pilgrimage centre for many. Many miracles have been said to occur at the synagogue among them is the healing of homosexuality. It is no surprise that this place will draw bigger numbers. As we continue to face the issues that assail us in the present world, the work of the religious will no doubt have so much impact on the direction of spirituality and comprehensive development of people.</span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Genesis brings out five aspects for me: God’s power to create; prevailing power of God; God, the garden of Eden, animals and humans; dialogues between humans and God and their outcomes; and the outcomes of different forms of curses and blessings.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">The benevolent life and experiences humans and animals go through is the result of the decisions by those who decided to create them. Humans, animals and earth only came into being because God chose it to be so. Form was created from formlessness, void, darkness and surface of the deep. It took God seven days to create: light which was called day; darkness which was called night; heaven; earth; vegetation; seasons; waters streaming with swarms of living creatures. All plants and animals were then blessed and destined to be fruitful. The earth was able to bring forth living creatures after their kind from cattle to creeping things. Plants and animals were capable of being fruitful, multiplying and filing the earth. There was beauty to behold and even God was saw all this was good (pages 9-10). Humans held a special place in this creation plan. They were made in the image of God with power to rule over fish of the sea, bird of the air. When all creation was done, God chose to sanctify that last day and to rest. But what shows that humans were special?</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Humans were provided for in a special way and were given instructions on how to live peacefully in the garden of Eden (pages 10-11). They were shown which foods to eat and the forbidden things to do like not getting anywhere near the tree of life in the middle of the garden. Eden itself had a river which divided into four other rivers. Eden had minerals such as: gold, bdellium and Onyx. Man was given charge of this garden. He was given a helper suitable for him home he named a woman. This kind of union would turn out to make man and woman to leave their parents to be joined as couples. In Genesis, the garden of Eden is central to it.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">It is in the garden of Eden that we see many dialogues between humans, animals and God. This is where Humans were prepared in executing roles of authority over bird, fish and beasts. This is where the fall occurred (pages 12-13). The serpent tempted Eve who in turn tempted Adam to eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree. This is where humans realized they were naked and did something about this nakedness. This is where God holds court with the serpent and the humans. It is where the serpent is cursed and confines it to being bruised on its head by the seeds of humans. This is where the woman is rebuked and cursed to bear her children amidst pain. This is where she is told that man will be her master. This is where man is told to always work harder for his food and that he would no longer live forever. It is at this point that they were sent out of the garden.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">What followed after man and woman were sent out of the garden shows the different experiences they continued to face. By now they had assumed names with the man being called Adam and woman called Eve. They gave birth to Cain and Abel (pages 13-15). These two sons were in different forms of production. Cain was a land tiller and Abel a keeper of animals. During offerings it is said Abel always brought the firstlings and fat portions. His brother however did not offer the best of his harvest and God was displeased. This displeasure made Cain angry to such an extent that he killed Abel. And for this , Cain was cursed. He became a vagrant and wanderer. This experience led Cain to plead with God who gave Cain a protective sign so that no one killed him in revenge. He had to go and settle far away from familiar places. He gave birth to offsprings e.g.Enoch. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, humans continued to multiply in large numbers and sons of God saw daughters of men as beautiful ones to be taken as their own wives. This lifestyle did not find favor in the eyes of God. He cut down on the length of life of humans. God reached the extent of regretting why He created humans. He therefore took aside one righteous person called Noah whom He asked to make a very large ark (pages 17-18). He told Noah of his plan to destroy all creation. He instructed Noah to put animals and his own family which will be saved in the ark. Time came torrential rains fell, fountains opened up and the earth was flooded. No one outside the ark survived. After sometime, Noah devised tests to check whether the floods had abated. When he found out that land was dry he let free all the animals. God made a covenant with him where He promised to never again curse the ground on account of man (pages 19-21). With time the animals were able to repopulate the earth. Noah’s family was able to multiply too. But, things happened which forever changed the course of events. </span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Noah planted a vineyard and made wines of which one day took so much of. It was to such an extent that he undressed. Ham, one of his sons saw his father’s nakedness and told his brothers Shem and Japheth who restored their father’s dignity by dressing him up. Ham was cursed for seeing his father’s nakedness but Shem and Japheth were blessed. Ham’s children became slaves to those of Shem and Japheth. The other event that changed the course of events was when the Lord created different languages. This happened when humans were attempting to build a tower to reach the skies. The place where this scattering occurred was named Babel (pages 22-23).</span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">So, in the story of Genesis these five aspects: God’s power to create; prevailing power of God; God, the garden of Eden, animals and humans; dialogues between humans and God and their outcomes; and the different forms of curses and blessings are highlighted. It also reads like a story trying to explain why there is love side by side with hate. God lovingly created the world. But, in a fit of displeasure God curses or destroys it. In a way Genesis reads like an explanation different races and the predicaments those different races face. In Genesis one reads of explanations which justify what I see now as mere injustices and it allocates blame onto certain people. There are two kinds of people: those who are shown to carry curses into perpetuity and those who are blessed offsprings. The ideas of being a master over slaves and servitude are celebrated and encouraged.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Public service is both a system and a deliverable. Through this community members seek to present what they can to promote good and quality life in their communities. Public service is also a mechanism through which those with needs can meet service providers to have these needs addressed. Public service is an employment base in the hospitality sector. Being an employment base, it has to fulfill given standards such as: non-discrimination, equity, equality and equal opportunities for all. For one who is deeply spiritual this is an opportunity to conduct oneself responsibly and accountably.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Spirituality is an individual belief in a higher divinity and it compels many people to be accountable for their behavior; it compels people to be of service; it gives one transcendental direction and focus; and it is what enables one to be orderly, organized in personal planning and dealing with others. This ability to be organized provides outcomes such as fairness and other leadership qualities.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Leadership is two things. First of all it springs from the qualities of a person as well as the description of duty that leader takes on. Being a leader and leadership are two different things that complement each other. The requirements of a leader are also qualities expected of such a person and these include: fairness, dependability, commitment, energetic, showing up, willingness to learn, willingness to be trained, discernment, patience, responsibility, able to guide others, experienced and friendly. These qualities are used to leverage one to conduct her/himself in different positions of duty bearing. It is these qualities that make public service an indispensable activity for communities.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> Public service may be tangible or not. It may be invisible or a visible service. But, it has to be accessible. However, not all who need it can access public service. This could be because of: social-economic, cultural, religious and physical status of the people. Or it could be because of the nature of the service itself being prohibitive and exclusionary. In order to proactively factor in fair access, there needs to be objectives in place to reach out to those who are disenfranchised. This proactive planning that fairly distributes services to accommodate the needs of those who are discriminated is the objective of social justice. </span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Politics in Africa is a lesson book for many aspects that many appreciate quietly or dispute noisily. When politics provides opportunities that favour the pluralistic diversity then that enshrines popular hope.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Africa was divided up into economic plots by those who met between 1884-1885 at the Berlin Conference to provide a working understand and an opportunity to regulate European colonization and trade in Africa. This meeting was one sided and no delegate from Africa was represented. Perhaps better representation of Africans would have had pluralistic outcomes. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Presently, the borderlines seem to be intact save for some minor changes in West, East and Southern Africa where countries gained independence in later years or where conflicts still exist. When all is said and done, African countries we know today are as a result of that conference and no one is refuting that. So, many African heads may talk of the historical injustices but this one conference outcome is agreeable to all of them.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">In Uganda, Halal butcheries, may not go by that name nor do many appreciate the magnitude of the networks of Islamic-led animal slaughtering practices there. This practice was made official by the British Colonialists and gazetted by President Idi Amin Dada. This has enabled Uganda meat products to have popular acclaim because it is the Moslems who slaughter animals to be eaten by the public (<i><b>Halaalization Of Foods</b></i>). Halaalization is a pluralistic gesture. This inclusive gesture toward the islamic faithfuls has four advantages: it takes in mind their taboos around the killing of animals; therefore allows them not to question procedure; it is a motivation for them to engage in and influence this market; and it is a lucrative industry almost solely run by Muslims and it enables them become employers. When it comes to Halal certification, Uganda is high up on the list of eligible countries by default. Halal certification, like vegetarian food choices increasingly provide a variety of choices from which to sample foods from other cultures. This is good, especially for the tourism industry in Uganda.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">I am a muganda man. And I want to add my voice to some misconceptions about the Baganda and our beloved president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. First off, the reference to racism thrown back and forth among many circles in Uganda against the Baganda is an affront to their age old notion of Concurrence and accommodation which are the mainstay of the spirit and faith of Nnono among the Baganda. The household is a preparation for pluralism among the Baganda.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="s1"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In Uganda, talk of racism in Buganda is to be taken with a bit of salt. I always ask my friends from other tribes/ethnicities what constituted racism according to them. Are we talking of disputes over use of, say, the road or commonly used property? Most times, it boils down to use of resources. I also ask them if in their families they have had a child or two labelled as the black-sheep. If families have black-sheep, why should people be surprised at similar misunderstandings at community levels? When it comes to racist tendencies in Uganda, one should analyse if it is not an issue which can go away after mediation. I do admit, there are those who can be provocative and "political-racist", but they can be as scattered as black sheep in different families.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="s1"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I come from a very large family and during holidays. I looked forward to going to our ancestral home where we were helping hands at our modern large ranch with over 3,000 heads of cattle in Ntuusi. We could engage in different chores from: tagging cattle; cleaning the sheds; repairing the fences; watering the trees; to weeding and pruning.</span></div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="s1"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ntuusi like many parts of Buganda, has a mixture of ethnicities co-existing as has been for millennia. This area has people from Rwanda, Burundi, Ankole and Buganda who have lived here for so long. Ruzindana is one example of people who migrated from other parts of Africa to come and settle in Uganda in the late 1940's. He was my childhood friend as well as his sisters and brothers: Kabeba, Karenzi, Birimumaiso, Kamuntu, Ndayiragije and Kyomuhangi. When we got together we shared so much in form of: stories, labour force, helped each other with school homework, shared bed, breakfast and bathrooms. I got to know that Kabeba meant a rat (mice) in Kinyarwanda. I was nicknamed Kamese which means rat in Luganda, by my father. I am told it was because when I was younger I could not pronounce the name Mukasa and instead I would instead say Kamese. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ruzindana became a medical doctor and now works with the Rwanda Ministry of Health. Kyomuhangi a sister to Kabeba is a professor at a university in the United Kingdom. We are still in touch but we lost our ranch to a more well armed and powerful hand who treated us with all the contempt and discourteousness a sane mind could behold. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There have been abuses against Banyarwanda ethnicities in Uganda, but there have also been numerous instances of courteous regard toward them. </span><span style="font-size: large;">There have been abuses against Baganda too.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> I am sure, we all have stories to tell. The problem is that there seems to be no structure within which to report abuses as well as reward coexistence. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Uganda is both a melting pot and tossed salad example of how ethnicities, ideologies and cultures in Africa can work together. Working and living together can be supported by the state if it can provide pluralistic opportunities for growth and development.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">President Yoweri Museveni, has shown to many Ugandans the value of consistency and a sense of security by providing opportunities for the larger population to clearly feel that government works with them. Like President Amin before him, he has empowered many to partake of the appropriateness of indigenous practices, skills and artisanry through use of African languages and words. I counted 6 (six) commonly used words he likes to use: “<b><i>Kulembeka”</i></b> meaning to make preparations to tap into resources; he popularized government programmes by using words that were agreeable to grassroots (his popular term is borrowed from Swahili and it is <b><i>“Wananchi”)</i></b>; <b><i>“Bonna baggagawale</i></b>” meaning eradication of poverty. He is oft quoted correcting people to not to be comfortable with alleviating poverty but rather eradicating it because according to his own words there is nothing good about being half poor;<b><i> “Tannulu”</i></b> is used when he is calling upon people to endure the long wait that one has to go through before achieving a goal; <b><i>“entandikwa”</i></b> means the disciplined, steadily progressive, preparation before and during the start-up phase of any activity; <b><i>“lubengo</i></b>” this is a large flat tray on which winnowing of cereal grains such as sorghum and millet is done. He usually refers to himself as the lubengo of Uganda. In Amin’s time 2 (two) words were popular and these are <b><i>“black-market”</i></b> and <b><i>“Kibanda.</i></b>” These became so ubiquitous that their meaning was apparent to so many Ugandans. These words were reflecting the economic characteristic of Uganda then. It was very hard to import goods through direct means. The United States Dollar (USD) was strictly monitored by the government and whoever applied for it was assessed for any threat to Amin’s regime. The USD was a very rare commodity but not when one was connected to the Kibanda boys who were adept at getting it. These Kibanda boys became popular because they never asked questions and did not scrutinize anyone for threat assessment. </span></span><br />

If exploited well by Ugandan leaders will be an opportunity to empower communities to become forces of effective development. Ugandans are capable enablers in their own progressive move toward a quality life and wellness.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It all depends. What gaps do we need to close ? It is like pointing out the real purpose of having a car which does 350 MPH. In very rare occasions does one need to get the gauge to 350 MPH! The same applies to the internet! It will be very useful when it increases on the critical number of Africans who can be categorized as "informed patients." There is the disease and illness side to any ailment. The internet will help get many people in Africa aware of diseases. With interactive facilities, these people will add their own experiences of the "disease." This experience is called illness. Africa needs technologies that create interactive patient forms. It needs to make her health care workers savvy enough. It needs to make her care facilities computerized. Most health workers are trained to diagnose diseases. Salaries are attached to disease groups. This explains the gap between what the health care workers prescribe and how patients make sense of things. If this disparity can be closed by the internet, Africa will begin to post quality care reports in large numbers. However, on the illness side, it is upon the skills and competence of the patient to break through the communication competence barriers that tend to arise in a doctor-patient relation. When patients become "informed patients" and are able to write or talk about their illnesses competently, we shall see a rise in the number of those who voluntarily seek quality life and wellness practices. All this is possible when Africa rises as one and invests in technologies that create interactive patient forms. It needs to make her health care workers savvy enough. It needs to make her care facilities computerized.</span></span></div>

Museveni; it has everything to do with planned common resource development, sharing and use<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It is symptomatic, it is historical, it is cumulative and has been undiagnosed since 1962. The fuel is: internal unrest between 1966-1971, the debauched war to topple Amin, the international embargo against Uganda during Amin's regime, the devaluation of the Uganda shilling with promise to compensate people that was not fulfilled, the 1979 war, the 1983 Bush war, the promises to compensate those who lost property in the wars which were fulfilled for some and not others and the impact of HIV.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My late grandfather served as one of the first chiropractor-medical assistant in various places in Uganda including Mbarara and Masaka. He retired in the 60's. His children were educated in various schools. My father won an Engineering scholarship which took him first to Britain, Italy, Germany and then Brazil. In Britain, he excelled at the Guy-Leyland Industry, in Italy he beat the computer at assembling a Fiat engine. He helped improve circulation and reuse of oil in diesel engines. He was enticed to remain in Europe but chose to come back to Uganda. The Amin regime did not agree well with his types. He was unceremoniously asked to leave his job as the Government Vehicle Inspector. No compensation was made. He was forced to start afresh. I am sure there are many stories like these in Uganda. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I can pointedly say more anger among Ugandans was furiously and fiercely stalked or reignited by the occurrences between 1979-1986. HIV brought its strain of anger. This anger has never been fully assuaged. The early collective mind of a Ugandan black African in the early days of the HIV disease took on a multi-faceted dimension. In the earlier days (early 1980's) following the 1979 Liberation war many things happened simultaneously. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">A regime change that ushered in the road to democratic governance. People who committed atrocities were brought to trial. Others were not. Some who lost property, were compensated but others were not. There were rumours of a disease far away from Kampala City Authority's comfortable zones. Othering those who had the disease became the norm. A vacuum and disconnect between those who were to provide services and recipients opened up. 5 litre jerry cans of herbal medicines that cost a limb became the symbols of self care in many a homes. It was a field day for unregulated herbalists. My own father sold all his 6 Bunga-Ggaba estate mansions plus the sprawling well manicured 8 acre land attached as he fought for his and the life of the wives. An insurance supported by government would have helped but, it was non existent. Today, the case of access to ARV's warrants an entire article on its own.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Meanwhile, it is still open market for the herbalist and other providers who promised cures which are not real.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Between 1979-1986, Uganda experienced tensions at political, social and cultural levels which in turn affected the way people experienced life and decided on what to prioritise. A mass austerity automatically kicked in even without the government's say so. People made austerity practices that affected food provision, sleeping arrangement, mobility, choices for wellness and investing in quality life. People became a dumping ground for trauma characterized by severe deprivation and living in squalid conditions. This has gone on even after it has been established that Uganda has one of the best government systems in Africa today. Somehow, this trauma has demotivated many from taking initiative. Not even "entandikwa," "ennyongeza" "bonna baggagawale," and other programmes can be carrot or stick enough. But, this does not give Uganda any excuse not to provide ways to addressing many unmet past recession, depression and austerity episodes. Another article will explain the meaning of President Y.K. Museveni's remark: "...I am not any body's servant. Me, I am a freedom fighter...." But quickly and as a scholar of intercultural communication. This message was not meant to posture or position himself as an isolationist. In fact, he was a proud elder about to surprise a clan with a bull roasting feast. It was a preamble! But, let me not digress. We were talking about Uganda's need to adorn the mantle of a true welfare state now that she has Oil.</span><br />

<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Other countries went through periods of recession, depression and austerity because of war, cataclysm or government policy. Ireland, Germany, U.S. (What was 'The Great Recession') and many African countries come to mind. Austerity with hope in a government that will come around to address historical wrongs in all the spheres at political, community and household level is galvanizing. The U.S. has gone through periods of austerity and two come to mind: The Depression, the 2008 recession and the 2013 government shutdown did not stop the The U.S. social systems to provide a minimum redress. This gives people hope.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Hopefully Uganda which has gone through traumatizing events can use say, Oil, to heal wounds and provide spaces of hope for diverse communities. It will be possible to help many who may privately be grieving not only for HIV but loss of property due to wars. This grief followed the 1979 war, the "war in the bush" and HIV/AIDS.</span></div>
