THE LOW DOWN - FREDRICK TUMUSIIME
Again, we have the pleasure of bringing you closer to the members of Kampala South. This time we cornered the elusive and mysterious Frederick Tumusiime and managed to get a word or two from him.
ET: TELL ME ABOUT ROTARIAN FRED?
FT: I joined Rotary on January 30th 2012. My classification is Infrastructure Planning Services and currently serving on the Projects Committee.
ET: AND WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE ROTARY?
FT: I have four siblings. Most folks say I'm results-oriented, people-person, family-is-everything kind of person. Am a sucker for honesty and don't forgive when betrayed.
ET: WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN & GAMES
FT: Well I enjoy reading (contemporary issues), playing chess, watching sports especially soccer and basketball. I also love animals. I have a Maltese pet dog named Golola Jenny and a kitten named Lucy. We are still getting to know each.
ET: LET US GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
FT: The things that inspire me to be a Rotarian is Service and Volunteerism. Plus my club members who are fun and never allow for a boring moment!!
ET: WHAT IS YOUR HIGHER CALLING?
FT: I want to reach out to the less fortunate as often as I can. This explains why I chose to work with a Development Cooperation)
ET: GIVE US A WORD TO THE WISE
FT: I Say, Life is for the living ~ anonymous
ET: YOU SAY YOU LOVE TO READ, ANY CATCHY TITLES WE SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR?
FT: No favorites but Malcom Gladwell and Paul Collier are among favorite authors
ET: GETTING DOWN TO CRAZY STUFF YOU HAVE DONE?
FT: Hmmm where to start..well, once was at the coast and I picked a lady from the bar, took her to my hotel room..but couldn't proceed with the night's action when she confessed to "doing it" for the money. I proceed to pay for a service I was no longer interested in. I think one should never (directly) pay for certain things)
ET: ANY LAST WORD?
FT: We live once, and one should live every day like it's their last...
