1. What do you enjoy the most about Rotary and your club in particular?
I love the fellowships and meet ups. Lately I am enjoying the fitness groups. It’s really been helpful for me to bond with the rest of the members as I keep fit.
2. What's the weirdest nickname someone has for you and what's the story behind?
The name is Kyiragwiire –Growing up, I was almost the darkest person in my family, so they used to call me Kyiragwire kya mutooma. To mean a really dark skinned person. It was funny because my dad is even darker.
3. If you could snap your fingers and instantly make the world better, what would you do?
I would make the world greener, and people kinder.
4. What three words would your friends use to describe you?
They would call me fun, crazy, and prophetic.
5. What's your favourite sport to watch and which team do you root for?
Watching sports is not really my thing but when I am pushed to the wall, it’s Soccer and I support Chelsea.
6. How do you spend your leisure time outside of your Rotary activities? Examples?
I spend time creating art, whether it is photography, playing guitar or making candle stands and decorations. I love creating art.

My mum always said that I should do what makes me happy. Clearly I have been living by that.
8. What is that one goal you hope to achieve in your life time?
I hope to be more kind and happy in whatever I do, achieve or be.
9. What makes you laugh no matter what?
Family guy - It’s an animation by Seith McFelane. It is by far the funniest thing I have ever seen. When I feel down, I simply go to YouTube and watch the cartoon and I am happy in no time.
