A great day at the Rotary Club started with the District Governor attending a meeting with the Executive Committee of the club. It was an evening full of excitement and expectations as the District Governor, Anne Nkutu, made her maiden official visit to a club, the Rotary Club of Kampala South and installed the 33rd President – Dr. Samuel Sewagudde. The shrieks of excitement, the wows of surprise, the aahs of meeting long lost friends was so telling. The Rotary Club of Kampala South has in the recent past etched out a tradition of being one of the very first to host the District Governor as they commence their tour duty. So its always the 1st Monday in July when the club coincidentally also holds their installation of the Club President. The Immediate Past President made her emotional appreciations to members of the board who served with her in the year gone by. She promised to serve diligently in her role as Learning Facilitator and member of the club. During the citation of the President Dr. Samuel Sewagudde, it was clear that he stands out as a man of many talents. He is well read and holds amongst others; a Master of Science degree in agricultural production chain management – livestock chains and an international diploma in poultry husbandry both from universities in Holland. He is a proud alumnus of Busoga College Mwiri and Kibuli Secondary School. The pleasantries of the ceremonial transfer of power (yes, in Rotary power transfers at midnight on 30th June, with or without the glitz and glamour} were then led by the District Governor Anne Nkutu. The formalities included getting an acceptance from the immediate Past President Rita Tinka that she was willing to hand over the instruments of power, to which she excitedly accepted.

A Rotary Community Corps (RCC) is a team of non-Rotarian men and women who are committed to their community’s long-term economic development and self-sufficiency. RCCs are active in urban and rural communities in both developed and developing countries. Remember that no matter where you are, even if it is a developed country, there are always underserved groups and communities in need of assistance. RCCs can help identify—and address—these service opportunities.
 An RCC is sponsored by a Rotary club and, like Rotaract and Interact, the Rotary club acts as its partner in service for community development projects. As representatives of the community being served, RCC members bring enthusiasm, creativity, and sustainability to the projects they design and implement. In other words, they offer community solutions for community issues.

When a lawyer named Paul Harris, a coal dealer, a mining engineer, and a merchant tailor first met in l905 in Chicago, they founded Rotary and, by the nature of their diverse vocations, the organization's classification principle was born. A great way for Rotarians to share information about their vocation is to give a classification talk at a club meeting. It is an opportunity to share important parts of one's personal and professional life. You are invited to join us online and in person for today's talk on career transition.

Happy new week, Happy new month! There are many things that motivate people to do volunteer work, most often those things being of charitable or philanthropic nature. Understanding why a person wants to volunteer will help match that person to a volunteer role and manage that volunteer in terms of keeping them engaged and motivated, supporting and developing them and hopefully retaining them. Please join us in person and online as we debate whether being a volunteer is its own motivation or whether more needs to be done to keep volunteers interested and involved. “You don't win a debate by suppressing discussion; you win it with a better argument.” Will you be on the affirmative or opposing side?

Every year we dump a massive 2.12 billion tons of waste on the planet and this figure is expected to increase to 3.4 billion tons by 2050. In low-income countries like Uganda, over 90% of waste is mismanaged. We already know what needs to be done to reverse that trend. We just need all levels of society to take urgent action. Obutonde Initiative collects nonbiodegradable waste from the shores of Lake Victoria and turns it into up-cycled art. Esther will today, share more about her work.

Just as in the modern marketplace, the time has been superseded by value. Positioning is often dependent on what role we chose to play in life, how the life curve has shaped us or how we see others. The King, Queen, Bishops & Knights distinguish themselves from the pawns and rooks by the moves they make (the game of chess). Please do join us on Monday 13ths of June for a deep dive into People Mastery.

Risk, nakedness, exposure, regardless of how you may want to reference it. A foot at a time, that's how we usually test the waters as uncertainty rules the mind. We build fences to mitigate exposure, even recount money handed over by our loved ones, not out of mistrust, but rather to manage exposure. Please do join us on Monday as Ian Mugisha takes us through the positive use of individual KPI KRI and compliance tools.

As far back as the historic times can be revisited, the taxman was always one not to wish eye contact upon...possibly the fear of letting go of what's "yours"! ..through centuries and moments have gone by, the current times don't speak otherwise as the evolution of tax has maintained PUT the bitter impact in the taxpayer's pockets...
You are welcome to join us today, as our very own Albert Beine gives insights into the taxman's world of thought & amendment proposals.

Topical matters never come with such 'sizzling hot aroma's' like the midterm access rhetoric. From the cries that filled the discussion groups right from the 1st wave of the Covid-19 pandemic to the nail-biting revelations in the minister's press release on Thursday this week. Presumably, the first thing the image below evokes in one’s mind is money, however, come Monday, we are sure to host a phenomenal gentleman for guidance to the same. Be there, and get all the answers to your niggling questions either online or at Hotel Africana.

Science says lasting relationships come down to—you guessed it—kindness and generosity. Generosity is not about blowing your partner's bank account or wallet with Benjamín’s or mazike. It involves freely sacrificing time and emotional energy and can come in form of romantic gestures and other acts of service. This Monday, we will be hosting CMP Jennifer Mirembe Ssensuwa a ‘certified’ Ssenga at relationships. She will walk the talk of Kameza Money and how you can eliminate frustration and miscommunication in your marriage or relationship. Feel free to invite your partner to join us on the Zoom link below:

This Monday is going to be an extra special one as we are honoured to host a Chartered Accountant and Certified Retail Banker Shem Kakembo, the Managing Director of EFC Uganda Limited (MDI). Shem will be sauntering us on a pragmatic journey of the EFC Uganda story and how they turned the metaphorical ‘ship’ around. For those hearing the acronym EFC for the very first time. It stands for the Entrepreneurs Financial Center, a microfinance deposit-taking institution that lends primarily to the underserved small and micro-enterprises.

Today most people ‘outsource’ death. They try to sterilise it. In their late 20s and early 30s people work frenetically to get ahead, not realising that life is finite. After 40 people start to become more aware of the time left to live as those close to them start to get sick and die. Eventually a great part of what people do is intricately tied to death. Yet still the subject of death remains taboo. Join us this Monday as we explore and share why Death is the ultimate stealth motivator!

You are cordially invited to attend the Installation Of Charles Odaga as the incoming President of the Rotary Club of Kampala South. The installation ceremony will also double as the official visit of the District Governor John Magezi Ndamira to the club!!! Charles Odaga is probably best described by the words of Jack Canfield thus "Don't worry about failure, Worry about the chances you miss when you don't try". He is a selfless soul who seems never to see any barriers in service and who seems to have 26hrs in his day. As we set out in this new Rotary year, we as club members are confident in his leadership as the 30th President of Rotary Club of Kampala South. This Monday, 5th July 2021

It has been a steady and relentless observation of virtual meetings since the onset of the pandemic and associated SOPs as advised by the government. The Kampala South family have recently decided to start having physical meetings/fellowships once every month. This was necessitated by the need to strengthen our bonds as we look to growing our club to greater heights.

Do you know your personality type?
Posted by Karo Tushemereirwe
We all beat ourselves up about certain qualities that we can’t seem to change about ourselves. When you know who you are, you’re able to interact with other people from a much more informed, empowered position. Understanding your similarities and differences from the people around you makes it infinitely easier to bridge gaps and connect with one another. Which situations do you find energizing, and how do you interact with your environment? How do you gather and interpret information, and where do you direct your mental energy? How do you make decisions and confront emotions? How do you relate to the outside world; and how do you approach work, planning, and decision-making?

Welcoming 5 New Members to Kampala South
Monday 24th August was a very colourful day in the annals of RC Kampala South as we witnessed the induction of 5 (five) new members into the club. It was a bleary day with loads of afternoon rain showers but all cleared for the evening event which was scientifically held at Amare - The Palace in Nsambya. A few invited guests, the inductees and their sponsors, our AG Mr Serugo and PDG Ken Mugisha were all in time to ensure the ceremony started at 6pm prompt. In spite of the masked faces, the ceremony was worth every second. Enjoy the pictorial here PDG Ken 'shakes' elbows with AG Serugo

TALES OF THIS WEEK’S ROTARY MEETING - SME's
Posted by David Omoding
On a hot Monday evening, Mr. Tony Otoa was scheduled to speak to the Rotary Club of Kampala South about SME’s being the engine of Uganda’s Economy. By the time the Rotary norms were done, you could hear a pin drop as everyone logged on in eager anticipation of what Kampala South had served up. SME’s being dear to many, the club hosted a sell-out attendance of over 200 Rotarians from four (4) continents, as well as Rotaractors and friends of Rotary. There couldn’t have been a better choice of speaker for this hot topic other than the current Executive Director of the Stanbic Bank Business Incubator Programme, a semi-autonomous entity of Stanbic Holdings. Evidently, he was drawing from his vast experience in enterprise development at Stanbic Bank and previously at Total E&P, plus his formative grounding in Busoga College Mwiri.

PAST PRESIDENTS LOUNGE
PP SUSAN MATOVU Welcome back to our Past Presidents' lounge where we learn about which moments and events made our past leaders who they are today. This week we had an interesting interview with PP Susan Matovu, known to the club as Senga Sue and she shared her personal journey in the club as President. Please tell us a little bit about yo urself. My name is Susan Matovu. My Rotary journey started as a member of the Rotaract Club of Kampala City, then later as a Rotarian in 1997 so it feels like I’ve been part of the Rotary fraternity forever! I was President of this Club for the year 2006/2007. Interestingly, three other Rotaract OG's and OB's of the Rotaract Club of Kampala City were Presidents in the same year – RC Ssese Islands, RC Kampala and RC Kampala North.

ON LINE MEETING ETIQUETTE AND DIGITAL HYGIENE
Compiled by IPP Peter Mukuru The concept of transmitting images alongside audio in a communications exchange dates back over 150 years to the 1870's. Video conferencing technologies have developed more rapidly since 1927 to present day where almost every mobile computing device has capability for video conferencing or video calls. The biggest boost to the usage of such technologies could arguably be in the past 4-5 months with the advent of COVID-19 lock downs necessitating virtual meetings for majority of human interactions.

PAST PRESIDENT LOUNGE
PP RICHARD MAYEBO Welcome back to the corner where we learn about our leaders the Past Presidents. Most of us are aware that they have contributed so much to Kampala South as a club, however we never dive deep into the specific ways, moments and events that made them who they are today. PP Richard Mayebo, known to the club as RFM says “It has been a long while since I was President of the club (2002/2003) so some memories have faded since.” In this interview, he further shares his personal journey in the club as President. Please tell us a bit about yourself. I have been a Rotarian for 24 years, having joined the Rotary Club of Kampala South in 1996. Coincidentally, I got married to my wife Mercy a few months after joining Rotary, and we now have three wonderful daughters. I have worked in Information Technology for most of my life, and IT remains a passion for me. 1996 must have been an auspicious year – it is the year Mr. Arsene Wenger became the Manager of Arsenal Football Club, and soon thereafter I and many football fans become lifelong Arsenal supporters. The last few years have been lean (hopefully this will soon pass), but watching my team win a football match remains a pleasure, alongside listening to music over a fine whisky.

PAST PRESIDENTS' LOUNGE 1
PP PATRICK LASSU Welcome to the Past Presidents’ Lounge, where we learn about our leaders the Past Presidents. Most of us are aware that they have contributed so much to Kampala South as a club, however we never dive deep into the specific ways, moments and events that made them who they are today. PP Pat Lassu says “Being the then Vice President, I was catapulted to President Elect and had only 5 months to figure it all out by July of that same year because the President Elect then opted to step down in January 2015.” In this interview, he further shares his personal journey in the club as President. Please tell us about yourself. My name is Pat Lassu. A proud member of RC Kampala South since 2008. A husband to Henrietta and a doting dad to two girls, Mary and Christabel, and two boys, Christian and Caleb. I work with the Parliamentary Service Commission. I love golf and play as often as I can. Don’t ask about my handicap – I’m working on it. Soccer occupies a special place in my heart too – I support Express FC locally, Arsenal in the UK and Bayern Munich in Germany. I’m also a budding farmer and I consider Aggrey Kankunda a great inspiration in this regard. How would you describe the club membership then? How many? How did you ensure you attracted and encouraged new members to participate? I can say that the membership was vibrant and teeming with pride and purpose. We hosted the Boat Cruise as usual and it was great party with a good return from the fundraising perspective. As a result, together with our international partners, we were able to advance the Kikandwa Project which remains a Club flagship project to date. Besides, the boat cruise had and still carries the additional spin off of making the Club more attractive to potential members.

FRIENDS OF KAMPALA SOUTH - Their Perspective
“The Rotary club of Kampala South meetings are usually attended in big numbers not only by club members but also other Rotarians. I think the magic is that they have set a particular standard that makes it fit their description of class”said Musa Sekamate when asked what he finds interesting/ inspiring about Rotary Kampala South. Musa, a member of Rotary Kampala East says he got to know about Kampala South because both his club together with Kampala South conduct their Rotary meetings (fellowship) at the same venue; Hotel Africana although on different days. He discloses that the members of Kampala South are good people, notably his friends; Dr. Richard Kalungi and Rogers Karebi, who he usually works with on several other Rotary engagements. Musa describes them as very resourceful and inspiring young men.

District Governor Visits Kampala South
Rotarians from Kampala South awoke to a heavy downpour on Monday morning but none of their moods or excitement was dampened. The buzz was loud, the excitement was boiling over and the organisers were running around like headless chicken in order to ensure that all preparations for the Installation of President Jennifer and the District Governors visit were precise has in keeping with the brand of Kampala South. The day's event kicked off with extremely prompt arrival of the Assistant Governor Jimmy Serugo who was on hand to receive the District Governor who also arrived very early. It enabled the board meeting kick-off 15 minutes before scheduled. The discussion that ensued was very candid and the main points driven by the DG was that a club like Kampala South should give more to the Rotary Foundation but also seek to become a club with over 200 members. Suffice it to say that it was imperative for the club to observe the standard operating procedures for public meetings. Read more  Off comes the Chain from Peter Mukuru - rendering him IPP

Farewell Remarks by Peter Mukuru at the RC Kampala South Installation
Posted by Peter Mukuru on Jul 06, 2020
DG, PDG, PE, Friends. I have known few greater honors than the opportunity to lead a team of volunteers committed to serving humanity. I thank the members of the Rotary Club of Kampala South for having entrusted me with the responsibility of being the Club President in 2019/2020 when the theme was Rotary Connects the World. It has been an extraordinary honour and privilege to serve and Connect with you. I wish to thank the Connecting Board for the generous and inspirational service. I thank our Past Presidents, AG Emily, PDG Xavier, my fellow Connecting Presidents, my colleagues, family, and most importantly God, for the support and for enabling me to execute the demands of the office of the President. I am grateful to our partners who have journeyed with us, and to RC Kampala North who always join us in service. In a special way, I thank VP Charles Odaga who always stood in for me. He, however, seemed to enjoy the President’s office more than I did.

ABOUT PROSTATE CANCER BY DOCTOR VINCENT
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Mar 20, 2019
Monday, March 18, 2019, all roads led to the Rotary Club of Kampala South fellowship. What was evident was the number of males at the fellowship compared females. It was clear men were bound to have taken homes from the Doctor Vincent Bakyenga. After President Ian and secretary Susan had commerced fellowship with introductions from visiting Rotarians, Rotaractors and guests, Doctor Vincent was given the podium to state his case on "Prostate Cancer". As Doctor Vincent was dissecting the subject matter, the audience expressed their amazement at what he was talking about. He strongly advised the men to go for early testing before it was too late. He also emphasized that as men grow older there was a 100% chance that they would be diagnosed with "Prostate Cancer" before death. For more details please download the presentation. Doctor Vincent explains the genesis of how Prostate Cancer develops in the male. A light moment as President Ian and Secretary Suzan, enjoy the "Prostate Cancer" presentation. The Rotary Club of Kampala South men amazed at what Doctor Vincent was explaining. Induction of three new members proceeded after the presentation. We were privileged to induct Rotarian Emma, Norah, and Sarah at the Rotary Club of Kampala South. For more details please click this link. Assistant Governor congratulates Rotarian Norah for having joined the Rotary fraternity.

Posted by Florence Nakyeyune on Jan 08, 2019
Monday 7th January,2018 was the first fellowship in the year 2019 for the Rotary club of Kampala South. As usual the Southerners kick started their year with a classification defense of one of their own i.e. Dr. Doreen Bakyenga who talked about "My Health My Life". According to Dr. Doreen lately most of the patients they receive in the hospitals these days are not suffering from the common diseases like malaria but rather depression caused by the social pressures surrounding people. Her advise to the members in the fellowship was that beginning 2019 everyone should find a balance in their life by balancing the boat of both work and play. She emphasized the need for the members to get back to the basics of having enough sleep, exercising , well eating healthy and ensuring that they each have a full body check up every year. For more details follow this link.

The Road Trip fellowship to Murchison Falls, Pakwach.
Posted by Rtn. Kayitarama Godfrey on Nov 10, 2018
DAY ONE I recently attended a talk organised by the Rotary Club of Kitante where Peter Iganga was a presenter and the topic was on travel. His question to his audience that challenged most of us was on ' the last time one went outside Kampala not for work, burial, or Christmas but to tour our beautiful country- Uganda.' Your guess is as good as mine! None of us present had ever done that. Peter went on to explain how foreigners/ whites/ Bazungu pay huge sums of money to come to Uganda to see places we have never been to. Indeed it was a challenge because personally, I have never been to any of the tourist places in Uganda. I used to look at them as a Bazungu/ or rich guys or people who have nothing to do.
Rtn Harriet Napeera Obbo had this to say ''Oh Uganda what a beautiful country regardless! The landscape, beautiful people, owesome weather, incredible nature and wildlife, tasty food and the Ubuntu still exists and so much more......Always reminded every time I explore. I'm So Uganda # Ondaba.''

A single gift of $14.7m for TRF
Posted by from rotarynewsonline.com on Nov 03, 2018
When a Rotarian donates a whopping sum of ₹100 crore or $14.7 million to The Rotary Foundation, the first question you ask him is how and when the idea was planted in his head. D Ravishankar, President, Rotary Club of Bangalore Orchards, D 3190, travels back over five decades to answer it. An important takeaway from his days as a young boy in a government school — a private school was beyond his reach — was the refrain by a senior teacher who’d say: “You should give till it hurts, because till then you are sharing your comfort, not everything that you have.”

RI Presidential Message Presidential message
Posted by From myrotary.org on Nov 02, 2018
One early June, more than 30 years ago, I had a business trip scheduled to Las Vegas. I had been a Rotarian for about six years, and I thought of myself as an active member: I attended every meeting, I’d served as club secretary, I knew everyone in my club. But for me, Rotary was very much a community organization. It connected me to Nassau and perhaps even to the Bahamas — but no farther.

OVERCOMING STIGMA, A STORY OF A POLIO VICTIM
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Oct 24, 2018
Rotary International has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years. The goal is to rid the world of this disease “POLIO”. As founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Iniative, Rotary has reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since the first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Rotary has helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries. So far, Rotary has contributed more than $1.8 billion toward eradicating the disease worldwide. Monday, October 22, 2018, was yet another special fellowship at the Rotary Club of Kampala South. Fellowship began at exactly 6:00 p.m. with President Ian and Secretary Suzan chairing the meeting. We had the introduction of fellow Rotarians, Rotaractors and guests. Ambassadorial make-up visit reports given by club buddy groups such as “Kikandwa buddy group”. The club happily hosted the "Interact Club Bishop Sisto Mazzoldi" at fellowship. Mr Allan Kabaale a polio victim's story began at an age of 2 month. He was a healthy little boy before 2 month until he got sick with malaria for a whole year. In that year, he became very ill and anemic. His mother decided to abandon him in the wilderness to pass on. In the wilderness, there was a heavy down pour of rain that greatly affected his health state. By the time he was discovered in the wilderness, he was pale and close to death. His grandmother took him in and took very good care of him. Due to his sorry state he was given treatment and medication by an orthopedic Doctor. He recounted numerous injections given to his body that affected his nerves and eventual contributed to his disability. Now, had there been good health facilities and early diagnosis and treat, Allan would have been a health and normal human being to-date. Mr. Allan shares his story as interact students listen to him. President Ian and Secretary Suzan presides over fellowship. Interact Club Bishop Sisto Mazzoldi attends fellowship.

OVERCOMING POLIO STIGMA
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Oct 22, 2018
Over the years, Rotary has put together collective efforts to fight Polio, and there is significant progress in eradication of polio. On 24th October, 2018, The world will recognize The world Polio Day. Despite the massive sensitization and awareness campaigns, we still witness serious cases of stigma against Polio victims. Mr. Allan Kabaale, a lawyer, artist and leader, also a polio victim has gone against the odds to shake off the impact of what the stigma can lead to, and lives a successful life, as a lawyer and artist. On Monday, 22nd October, 2018, Allan will share his story with the Rotary Club of Kampala South at our weekly fellowship at Hotel Africana from 6:00pm. Please plan to join us and listen to Allan's amazing story. Remember to bring a friend.

Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Oct 08, 2018
The boat cruise fundraising preparations began three month prior the due date Saturday, October 6, 2018. The fundraising committee led by the Chair Past President Joseph Baroraho and 24 other committee club members geared up to take on the mantle of organizing a successful boat cruise event. As the months went by and days drew closer, the entire committee had to implement a strong sales and marketing strategy towards the event date. Due to the constant positive feedback from the District 9211 and other Rotary clubs on the previous boat cruise event 2017; about safety and security, boat cruise return time and so on. The committee was able to effect most of the feedback got from different Rotarians. Part of the fundraising Committee team take a photo moment on the red carpet. MV Kaawa boat awaits its passengers to sail. Saturday, October 6, 2018, came the long awaited boat cruise event that was characterized as a shiny day after heavy down pours of rain the previous days. As the boat cruisers streamed in toward the site (MV Kaawa boat) for registration, it was evident that the fundraising committee was in for the biggest surprise of; “the biggest ever attended Rotary Club of Kampala South annual independence boat cruise event in the history of the Rotary Club of Kampala South ". Any Rotarian could imagine it was a "mini DCA" of District 9211. Due to the overwhelming numbers, the MV Kaawa boat took to sailing at about 3.00 p.m. A hefty luncheon and drinks were served as guests boarded the MV Kaawa Boat. The atmosphere was filled with lots excitement and joy in anticipation of a life time boat cruise experience. At the registration point as guests line up for registration. The music on boat cruise sounded so good that it spiced up the atmosphere. This got everyone one joining in to the fitness Cheza dance session. There were three decks on the MV Kaawa. The top most deck was the most preferred by many with quality and appealing music. One could not overlook the very beautiful scenery on Lake Victoria. The setting sun, wavy waters and the surrounding islands were all very visible and attractive. The middle deck was a bit relaxed and guest sat and held candy conversations. The lower deck was filled with action as guests danced their hearts out with the Cheza fitness instructor and the famed Captain Rotarian Charles. Everyone enjoyed the cocktails, drinks and snacks that were on sale their after the luncheon. Guests dance away and enjoy the Cheza fitness session with lots of happiness and joy. We were privileged, to have international Rotarians from other countries such as Kenya, India to mention but a few. The Rotary Club of Milimani braved the road trip from Nairobi to Uganda to participate in their twin club fundraising event. They were all blown away by how interesting and fun the boat cruise could be and pledged to return in bigger numbers come 2019.

Appropriate responses were given and a satisfied audience was visibly noticed.

THE GIRL CHILD
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Aug 24, 2018
The national statistics on school drop out is quite alarming. The girl child is unfortunately most vulnerable to dropping out of school, for so many unfortunate, yet preventable factors. Ranging from child marriages, family gender discrimination, stigma created by biological factors like menstruation and a host of other factors have all contributed to early school dropout for the girl child. Fortunately, there are as many possible solutions as there are challenges in minimizing the effects. On Monday, 27th August, 2018, we shall be honored to host the leading girl-child advocate, Mrs. Hope Nankunda Mwijuka to highlight the impact these challenges have had on the girl child, as well as what needs to be done to avert the effects. Please plan to join us on Monday, 27th August 2018 at Hotel Africana from 6:00pm for yet another educative and fun-filled fellowship. Remember to invite a friend. REMEMBER TO PICK UP YOUR TICKET TO THE BIGGEST ROTARY EVENT OF THE YEAR, "THE INDEPENDENCE BOAT CRUISE" FROM THE REGISTRATION DESK.

ARE YOU VIGILANT ENOUGH WITH YOUR PERSONAL SECURITY?
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Aug 16, 2018
We believe your week started off well and you enjoyed our last fellowship about diabetes. We always bring you fun filled, yet very informative fellowships, and this Monday will not be any different. Most of us have become increasingly complacent when it comes to matters of security, personal or otherwise. The question is, how vigilant are we, in as far as our surroundings are concerned? Are we security conscious enough? Or have we left it to the security operatives?

ACCESS TO CHEAPER CAPITAL?
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Jul 27, 2018
As a country, we have registered one of the highest interest rates across the continent. Oscillating between 12% to 35% is not only unsustainable, but is also not practical, especially for our business environment. Not to mention the laborious process of loan application from banks. One can comfortably conclude that the business environment, with specific emphasis does not favor business and economic growth. Recently, the government of Uganda adopted Islamic Banking, which has injected a breath of relief in the business community. Islamic banking operates on a different doctrine from the conventional banking. We shall be blessed to host, our own, Rotarian Innocent Agaba, an established expert in Islamic Banking to enlighten us about Islamic Banking. Please join The Rotary Club of Kampala South on Monday, 30th July 2018 at Hotel Africana from 6:00pm for a fun-filled fellowship as we get to learn. Please encourage a friend to visit as well. PLEASE NOTE: ALL PLANS TO HAVE A MEMORABLE ANNUAL INDEPENDENCE BOAT CRUISE HAVE BEEN SUMMARIZED AND TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS ICONIC EVENT. ASK ANY MEMBER OF RC KAMPALA SOUTH FOR THE TICKETS.

Money and intimacy in relationship
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Jul 19, 2018
Modern day relationships, and particularly marriages have been known to be financially influenced. The extent to which a couple permits money/finances to influence their relationship can only be determined by the couple itself. Many-a-couple have been known to disagree, and in some isolated instances separate because of differences in opinions over money. Intimacy too plays a pivotal role in a way a couple relates. But how often do we examine these factors as influencers of strengthening our relationships? Today, Monday, 23rd July,2018, we shall be honored to host "Senga" Mariam Nagujja to lead us through a discussion on MONEY AND INTIMACY IN A RELATIONSHIP. You are invited to this fun-filled fellowship at Hotel Africana from 6:00pm. Please invite a friend.

As guests streamed in, the likes of Rotarian Sewagudde were captured giving members, “the famous presidential Croatian warm welcoming hug.” Fellowship began with the Rotary norms and we quickly proceeded to team Troono “Rotary International Toronto convention team”. They were all overly excited about their experience at the Rotary International convention in Toronto. Places and sessons like market place, house of friendship and various rotary clubs among others were visited. The Troonos were proud that they were able to attend the Rotary International convention in Toronto. The long a waited pornography talk followed with Dr. Annette Kezaabu Kasimbazi sharing about how pornography is a crime by law in Uganda, what constitutes pornography, what the legal implications to any offenders were and she shared a story about a boy who was addicted to pornography till 60 years when he decided to quit, after an encounter with a 21 year old lady prostitute. Numerous questions were asked especially concerning children and what they were exposed too in the entertainment industry. Dr. Annette concluded her talk with food for thought saying, “The way you enter a dark hole is the way you will come out of it!!!!” Here is a fun packed pictorial view of the educative fellowship.

UGANDA NATIONAL BUDGET SIMPLIFIED
Posted by Miriam Wegoye on Jun 29, 2018
Since the Hon. Minister of Finance read out the National Budget for the financial year, 2018-2019 on Thursday, 14th June 2018, on behalf of the President, I guess you have been wondering, if you will afford the same lifestyle after paying off a list of taxes that come into effect starting 1st July 2018. What comes to mind are taxes like Social media tax, taxes on mobile money transactions and your day-to-day transactions and how they will all be affected. If you want to know how this budget will affect you, and the average Ugandan, the implications on the economy, you have an opportunity to get it from the leading consultant on tax on Monday, 2nd July 2018 starting at 6:00pm at Hotel Africana. And it is absolutely FREE. All you have to do is invite a friend, workmate, relative or neighbour. The Rotary Club of Kampala South will give you a warm welcome.

Monday, June 25, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. was an amazing fun packed fellowship. Our very own Rtn. Past President Jane Bitek Langoya spoke with precision to an enthusiastic audience. The topic was, what we needed to know about a legal marriage. Some of her highlights were; how couples could tell their edibility criteria for marriage, how important it was to get married from a licensed entity for example licensed churches, Mosques and so on, and the recognized types of marriages in Uganda to mention but a few.The topic was so sensitive and interesting that they attracted, a flood gate of pertinent questions. These included; the assumed legality of marriages that were not registered with Uganda Registration Services Bureau and when and how the court got involved in marriages with legality disputes. Rtn. Past President Jane responded to all question with comprehensibility. This left majority of attendees gratified with apprehension propelling them to know more about the importance and legality of a marriage and the usefulness of the Uganda Registration Services Bureau. Rtn. Richard gave a brief update about Mr Mohammed Musisi’s health and medical bill status at Naggalama Health Center. He urged member to generously contribute towards the medical expenses of the patient that was discovered at the Kikandwa health camp and maternity ward commissioning day. We were also honored to have a cocktail of clubs from within Uganda and Kenya such as the Rotary Club (RC) of Langata Nairobi and RC Mbarara. A club banner was exchanged between RC Kampala South and RC Langata. Past President Anthony graced the fellowship with so much humor. This left the crowd very happy.

Money, Fame and God Fellowship
Posted by Florence Nakyeyune on Mar 21, 2018
All roads led to Hotel Africana on Monday 19th March,2018. Every Rotarian, Rotaractor and Guest wanted to partake of the wisdom of Father Kateregga. Amazingly this young Priest could pass you unnoticed bu the great wisdom and insight he has to life is amazingggggg. Katonga hall was fully packed to the extent that one would think it was a mini DCA. Father Kateregga emphasized that God is the most important element in life. A person without God is a time bomb irrespective of how wealthy , popular or beautiful they are. Father also cautioned the meeting that there is need to value family because as one grows older, friends and money could disappear but your family will always be a constant. He asked the single ladies and gentlemen in the room to spare time for producing and raising children. A lot of words of wisdom were shared by Father Kateregga but also his humour left the meeting engrossed in laughter. For more details kindly follow this link.

Mega Induction at South!
Posted by Florence Nakyeyune on Aug 17, 2017
All roads led to Kampala South on Monday 14th August,2017 for the Mega Induction of four new members. If there is anything Kampala South has taken seriously, that is the message of (R.I.P.E) Sam Owori. As usual with a big bang approach, four new members were inducted. Friends and family attended in big numbers which made the event even more spectacular. The joy and happiness of joining the Rotary Club of Kampala South could not be denied as can be seen in the picture below. The Induction was made by District Governor Nominee Xavier Sentamu. Special thanks to the sponsors as well as the Director Membership for making this happen. For more details about this event, please follow this link

Membership at South!
Posted by Florence Nakyeyune on Aug 08, 2017
Kampala South has definitely taken the membership drive to another level . Six members due for induction were able to talk to the fellowship about why they wanted to join Rotary and Rotary Club of Kampala South in particular. One thing stood out, Kampala South is a brand to reckon with! Even making the fellowship better, was a presentation on chapchap, an application meant to provide financial inclusion to Ugandans both in and out of the country. Key message from the presentation was "Technology cannot be denied anymore". As is the usual tradition to celebrate our members, birthday cards were given to all the babies and boyyyyyyy ohh boyyyyyyy did the club secretary showcase his hugging skills.

92nd DCA - The Homecoming Fellowsip Victory Parade
Posted by Charles Odaga on May 09, 2017
Welcome back to all who travelled to Arusha for the 92nd District Conference and Assembly (DCA). You surely did keep the Rotary flag flying high. On a more interesting note, the oft-alluded to #SouthernStorm was seen gathering clouds over the awards ceremony during the DCA. Lo and behold, the #SouthernStorm gathered so much dust and turned into gale force winds as the awards were read. ……Bang the lightning struck and the club won the following at the 92nd DCA - Closing Session:
1. Community Service Projects- Rotary Club Kampala South (works with four active Rotary Community Corps aka RCCs),
2. Family of Rotary - RC Kampala South (Highest number of family social events), 3. Most participation in club youth Programs RC Kampala South. We would also like to congratulate Rtn Kenneth Mugisha on assuming the mantle of District Governor Elect 2017/18. Congratulations too, to Rtn Xavier Sentamu for being elected the District Governor Nominee Designate.

Kla North Singing & Dancing Competition 2016
Posted by Charles Odaga on Nov 12, 2016
The famed Kla North Singing and Dancing competition was held on Saturday 12th November at the Law Development Centre Auditorium. The newly completed facility provided a very convenient place to hold this competition as the heat from the blazing sun was quickly warded away by the powerful air conditioning in the hall. The total number of clubs participating were significantly less than in the previous year but the passion and commitment was even greater.
The RC of Kampala South a joint team with Rotaract Club of Kampala South - 'The Southern Stormers'. The excitement among the participants was fever peak as memories of the win (dance category) during the 2015 competition continued to pervade the conversations about the clubs to watch out for.
The Southern Stormers emerged the overall winners of the singing category and our lead singer (Jayne) was awarded a prize fr the best vocalist. The RC of Kla Ssese emerged the overall winners of the Dance category with the Southern Stormers coming second. The performances were 'Electric' to say the very list;
A few photos below will give you a glimpse into the event;

KLA SOUTH INDEPENDENCE BOAT-CRUISE 2016
Posted by Innocent Agaba on Oct 14, 2016
THE INDEPENDENCE BOAT CRUISE
--------How it went down
.jpg)
The long awaited Rotary Kla South Independence Boat Cruise 2016 can only be described as splendid, to say the least. On Sat 7th Oct 2016, over 250 Rotarians, Rotaractors and friends of the Rotary family were part of a fundraising event aimed at raising funds for the Kikandwa Health Centre in Mukono.
We are happy to announce that we raised more than UGX 11m which will go towards the construction of the Maternity Ward at our Health Centre in Kikandwa.
From the information shared above, it’s quite evident that the image of Rotary was enhanced and positively promoted, for example the guests had an opportunity to have a one on one with Rotarians to get a better understanding of how projects are run and why its important to partner with the Rotary fraternity. We need more hands in Rotary.
And finally by all means possible, the event fostered "international understanding" & teamwork given the blend of social, organisational, political & cultural diversities.
And ofcourse....wats a parrrty without DJ APE-MAN.......The "beats were to the bone"
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Kampala South, and on my own behalf, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all those who joined us. For those that didnt sign up this year & those that were left behind due to unavoidable circumstances, don't despair, #BOAT CRUISE 2017 is just around the corner #360 DAYS TO GO, LET THE COUNT DOWN BEGIN........

It only seems like yesterday when we eagerly boarded MV Kawa to sail for Maternal Health during the Independence Boat Cruise hosted by RC Kampala South.
We promised that it would be bigger – YES it exceeded all our expectations!
We ranted that it would be better than the rest – INDEED it was an epic experience!
We are happy to announce that we raised more than 11m Ugx which will go towards the construction of the Maternity Ward at our Health Centre in Kikandwa.
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Kampala South, and on my own behalf, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all those who joined us.
Meetings are already underway to ensure that we correct any short comings that we faced this year and ensure that next years’ cruise will literary ‘blow you out of the water’.
Merci beaucoup!
Afoyo matek!
Twashemererwa!
Eyalama noi!

DEALING WITH CHILDHOOD DIABETES@KlaSouth-26/9/16
Posted by Innocent Agaba on Sep 26, 2016
It was touching and yet very educative & informative......!The "Southerners" hosted Mrs Jackie Namara Rukare on Monday 26th September 2016 at Hotel Africana (home of the Rotary Club of Kampala South). She made a very moving presentation, on HOW TO DEAL WITH CHILDHOOD DIABETES. With no medical background, Jackie is helping families and children suffering from Diabetes through her company SugarCUBES - an initiative founded to provide a support network to help both the children and families to cope with living with childhood diabetes. She shared a personal experience of how she has dealt with this for more than 5 years in her own family and called upon all parents and all human beings to be vigilant, and get the basic ABCs of handling this situation.
--Jackie Namara Rukare addressing the members --
KAMPALA SOUTH GETS NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERS.....>>>>>>
It was yet another "first of its kind" as the Southerners signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with 106.1 JAZZ FM and M CONSULTS with the main objective of improving awareness and Rotary image within the country and beyond, and strategic Public Relations and branding.
The Club has created "THE ROTARY MINUTE" in partnership with 106.1 JAZZ FM which will be aired every day. This is a Kla South Sponsored platform where the "facts about Rotary" will be shared with general public.
--The MD JAZZ FM, Christine Mawadri, & President Kla South after MoU signing--
Kla South shall also FREELY air announcements of projects, activities, conferences & training organized by any Club in D9211 (Rotary, Rotaract, Interact). The Clubs simply have to contact the Kla South PR Directorate on +256701145556.
More to that, the partnership with M CONSULTS, is designed to enhance Club & Rotary Image in and outside the country through professional branding and PR services.
--M Consults Associates Kenneth Bwengye, Grace Agaba together with President Geoffrey Kla South after MoU signing--
And as usual, it was merry making during and after fellowship as the MIGHTY PLUTO BUDDY GROUP treated the members and guests to a "sumptuous" combination of "kabalagala, bagiya & pizza" That explains the happy faces below..............VVVVV 
If you missed out, NEXT WEEK COME WITNESS 4YOWA SELF..............#SouthernHospitality..

Dear Friends,
It is estimated that over 422million adults in the world have diabetes, and that number is projected to exceed 700million by 2040, with Diabetes prevalence rising more rapidly in Middle and Low income countries.

Jackie is a professional lady, a Chartered marketer, a Mother and a champion of health advocacy. She is one of the founders of SugarCUBES - an initiative founded to provide a support network to help both the children and families to cope with living with childhood diabetes
You are invited to join the Rotary Club of Kampala South today Monday 26th Sept 2016, 6pm at Hotel Africana as we host Jackie Namara Rukare, who will share her personal story and educate us about dealing with; and supporting Children with Diabetes.Tell a friend to tell a friend to JOIN US.

PENSION SYSTEMS IN UG #Fellowship 19/09/2016
Posted by Innocent Agaba on Sep 20, 2016
Monday 19th September 2016 was yet another exciting evening at the Rotary Club of Kampala South as we discussed Pension systems in Uganda; and not surprising is that the focus was on "SAVING FOR RETIREMENT"...
Yes.....that's right; Let me break it down for you, R*E*T*I*R*E*M*E*N*T. That Monster most of you dread, especially when you have not sufficiently prepared for it. Am i communicating to some one? If yes, then you should have been at Kampala South on Monday. But if you were not, all is not lost as we bring you the highlights.
The Guest Speaker was a seasoned expert from Uganda Retirements Benefits Regulatory Authority (URBRA), Mr. David Nyakundi Bonyi - the CEO of URBRA. Mr. Bonyi elaborated on the Pension Systems in Uganda, the sector liberalization efforts, the Private Schemes Vs NSSF, and also shared tips on saving for your retirement.
URBRA is a government-owned, semi-autonomous agency responsible for regulating, licensing, supervising, and controlling the retirement sector in Uganda, the third-largest economy in the East African Community. The authority is also responsible for issuing guidelines to allow the liberalization of the retirement sector in the country.
Shock and happiness was in equal measure as the Guest Speaker's words sank deep into the minds of those in attendance.
...........And while all that was happening, some "devious" fellows also seized the moment to try out their "long hours practiced accent" just to impress the grand daughter of Sir Samuel Baker's neighbour's friend's cousin who was also the Queen's inlaw to the......................anyway its a long story, NEXT WEEK COME WITNESS 4YO SELF..............#SouthernHospitality..

HISTORIC VISIT TO KLA SOUTH BY DG JAYESH ASHER
Posted by Charles Odaga on Sep 13, 2016
Monday 12th September was a public in Uganda thus the RC of Kampala South would, as per usual standards, not held her famous fellowships. This however, was not the story at the club. The members had earlier agreed that the visit to the club by the District Governor would process as earlier scheduled.
As the hours drew closer to the time wen he would commence his visit by holding a meeting with the board, the hotel grounds stood be decked by eloquent looking rotary branding merchandise under scoring the importance of the occasion at hand. The board member sat in the meeting room eagerly though calmly composed as they were all donning the club branded apparels.
The DG arrived in time, 4:00pm, at the meeting venue to a thunderous applause from the members present. He was escorted to the meeting by his wife and daughter and accompanied by the AG James Nkooka.
The members present then hastily agreed on the modalities to follow and the meeting commence in a very collected atmosphere.
Following all reports by the directors the DG was all praise for several aspects about the club namely;
1. The use of Clubrunner as a tool for communication. He applauded the use as being the best in the entire district.
2. The clubs zero tolerance on non-payment of dues.
3. Timely accounting - though he advised the club to adapt two column accounting in order to correctly apportion use of monies.
The was a photo opportunity at the close of the meeting with the board
The team then moved to the main hall for a plenary session of fellowship and induction.

Monday Clubs Joint Fellowship hosted by Kla North
Posted by Charles Odaga on Aug 29, 2016
Even after trudging through the various distances at the Cancer Run, the members of Monday Clubs were still fired up for fellowship on Monday evening.
The occasion though had a different catch to it. It was a 'Joint Fellowship' of Monday Clubs hosted by Kampala North.
As expected, members of RC Kampala South and their guest and friends braved the traffic jam and thronged to Nommo gallery in the spirit of...
The Object of Rotary reads in part " ...to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service..."
The photographs tell the whole story
The last members were seen sauntering out of Nommo gallery at midnight.

The resurgent fight against the cancer scourge has taken a new twist with the Rotary cancer Run 5. This year the run will take place on Sunday 28th August from 7am.

Sanitation - A Viable Business In Kampala
Posted by Charles Odaga on Mar 14, 2016
On Monday 14th March, RC Kla South hosted a double thriller style fellowship which included a presentation on Sanitation as a viable business in Kampala and also hosted Herbert Segujja aka Mendo aka Teacher Mpamire a reknown comedian in East Africa.
Jude (extreme right below) is the Water and Sanitation Supervisor at KCCA.
Mendo aka Teacher Mpamire then shared his life story interlaced with a lot of mimicry of H.E. Yoweri Museveni and a nit of Dr Kifefe Besigye.
The thunderous laughter was continuous and really crowned a very interesting evening for our club and guests

Posted by Charles Odaga on Jan 12, 2016
'You Shouldn't have a champagne taste with a beer budget' - Prof. Jimmy Senteza
Monday 12th January was another fun filled fellowship as RC of Kla South hosted Prof Jimmy Senteza to lead a discussion on financial disciple and investment with the guests and club members present.
Great Attendance and had the aura of an exam room as a financial literacy quiz was conducted
Issues for discussion included; Can you satisfactorily and accurately account for how you spend all the money you make? Are you happy about your spending habits? Have you defined your financial goals for the year? Are you sure about how and when you should create wealth?
Begin the year with a financial tune up intended to help reinvigorate your efforts to enable you to make the best out of your finances this year and going into future. But first evaluate your financial literacy by answering the questions below;
1. What is the difference between income and wealth?
2. Loosely elaborate on how you would establish the amount of your net worth.
3. True or False: High Income leads to high wealth? Explain
4. Give one example of each of the following:
An appreciating asset
A depreciating asset
5. What is the difference between consumer loan and an investment loan?
6. Provide two criteria for setting good personal financial goals.
7. What does inter-generational wealth transfer mean to you?

INDUCTION OF TWO MEMBERS TO THE CLUB
Posted by Charles Odaga on Nov 17, 2015
Monday 16th November was an epic day for the Rotary Club of Kampala South. The fellowship was packed to the rafters as the program for the day attracted a huge number of visitors from other clubs and special guests too. The occasion was, among other activities, to complete the induction of two new members. The District Governor Nominee, Kenneth Mugisha conducted the process. The two, namely Paul Mulira (loaned the classification of Insurance services) and Innocent Agaba (loaned classification of micro finance management services) were joyfully welcome into the club. The presence of several members from the Rotaract Club of Kampala City to witness the induction of two former members of their club made the occasion the more touching. Kampala South seems to be a favourite destination for members of Rotaract Club of Kampala City.

The guest speaker, Davis Tashobya then took the listeners through the history and purpose of Kampala Toastmasters Club and the Art of Public speaking. The listeners were indeed bewildered by the very basic insights into what make a speaker good and a joy to listen to.
Davis Tashobya (R) makes his point as the DGN, President and Secretary listen
In was very notable that the fellowship was graced by twenty guests. If we can directly read into the stats, then Kampala South is heading for a rapid growth curve.

SONG AND DANCE COMPETITION 2015 - The Tale of The Southern Stormers
Posted by Charles Odaga on Nov 02, 2015
The Rotaract & Rotary Clubs of Kampala South formed a team to participate in joint projects and activities and aptly named it ‘The Southern Storm’. This partnership has benefitted a lot for the talent pool in both clubs but especially the ‘baby’ club which has a midas touch to everything they participate in. Most recently they retained the ‘Treasure Hunt ‘ trophy, won the inaugural basketball competition, reached the semifinals at the 5 A Side football tournament and also won an auction at the Rotaract Club of Kyambogo.
It was thus a buoyant mood as the training started for the Song and Dance Competition (organized by RC Kampala North). The Southern Stormers had the confidence to make a statement at the event. However, we least expected the pain we had to undergo to see the practice sessions through. We recruited instructors for song and dance and zeroed down to convenient dates for training.
It all came to fruition on 31st as the Southern Stormers were the very first to be called onto stage of the 33 clubs that entered the completion. True to us, the singers put up a brilliant show (only let down by the microphones which weren’t well tuned). Sadly when the results were released, our Song team hadn’t won in any category, but we are very proud we had made a dignified appearance.
Fast forward to the dance competition…… the dance troupe had put in several more shifts to get their performance close to championship levels. The costumes were ready and when we had dressed up we walked through a few steps before getting into a prayer huddle led by Albert Rubombora. The mission was simple, go out have fun, express your selves as best as we can and ‘Be A Gift To The World’.
As the Stomers assembled on stage, d the DJ started with the wrong tune. We stayed in formation and didnt flinch despite that hitch. As soon as the correct track started, the crowds cheered our very first steps. Then as the storyline regarding orphans unfolded, Aggrey Kakunda walked on stage as a medical doctor to a thunderous applause. The Stomers excuted their dance moves to near perfection and by the time we threw our caps off, there was a standing ovation.
The feeling was absolutely cheerful.
The Southern Storm was truly raging, various people from the crowd came to congratulate. Comments centred around the very best of the 7 performances up to that time. When the time for results came, the tension was immense, category after category and there was no mention of the Southern Stomers. We were visibly uncomfortable at that point. Finally the announcement for winner of the dance category was awarded to the Rotaract and Rotary Clubs of Kampala South.
The Stormers had won.
We are very proud to have a good account of ourselves. Absolute thanks to the instructors and support cast.
The clock is ticking towards 2016 and we will be back.

MOUNTAINS OF MY COUNTRY - PRESENTATION BY JACKIE ASIIMWE-MWESIGE
Posted by Charles Odaga on Sep 22, 2015
The RC of Kampala South organized yet another fun filled fellowship on Monday 21st September. The presenter was Jacqueline Asiimwe-Mwesige (when does one decide to use the name Jackline, Jacqui, Jacqueline….but that’s a story for another day). The title for her presentation was Mountains Of My Country.
She took the audience through her experiences of climbing the three highest mountains in Uganda in a period of three weeks. The revelation left many listeners agape in awe. It was clear from their expressions that they were utterly impressed.

But that wasn’t all she had to deliver. She dovetailed her 'mountains' story to reflect the challenges that the nation is facing and referred to them as other mountains which she intends to scale, namely;
- Domestic violence (68%)
- Maternal and infant mortality rates
- Malnutrition and hunger, food security
- Education (Only one out of every ten children assessed in Primary 3 in 2013 was able to read a Primary 2 level story and correctly solve Primary 2 level numeracy questions up to division level).
- Early child marriages - 10% of girls are married off before the age of 15 and 40% of girls re married off before their 18th birth day. Around 46 % of all women are married by the age of 18 (UNICEF 2011)
- Youth unemployment - in 2012, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics revealed that the share of unemployed youth (national definition, 18-30 years) among the total unemployed persons in the country was 64%
- Corruption – The latest Global Corruption Barometer by Transparency International, Uganda ranks 142 out of 175 in perceptions of corruption
- 68% Ugandans think corruption in the public sector is a big problem
- 62% think that anti-corruption agencies are ineffective
- 88% think the police is the most corrupt, followed by judiciary at 79%

She concluded by challenging Rotarians to find their level of concern among the following types of Ugandans;
- People who don’t know what is happening
- People on whom things happen
- People who don’t care what is happening
- People who make thing happen (for the better).
She was treated to a thunderous applause for a wonderful presentation.
You are welcome to join us on Monday 5th October for another fun-filled fellowship.

BOU FINANCIAL CONSUMER PROTECTION - 'Know Your Rights'
Posted by Charles Odaga on Sep 08, 2015
Oh what a wonderful presentation!
Best fellowship ever!
I am heading to my bank tomorrow to seek redress!
Banking will never be the same again!
These were but a few of the comments made after the presentation by Mr Philip Wabulya on Financial Consumer Protection ‘Know Your Rights’. The audience of Rotarians, Rotaractors and guests were in awe at the information that was shared. It revealed that even while the audience is considered ‘crème de la crème’, they exhibited a gross ignorance of their rights as consumers of financial products.

The presentation was delivered in style and the eager faces could tell it all. Philip spoke passionately as he also shared his experiences as a seasoned banker. In a nut shell, the Financial Consumer Protection Guidelines were developed by BOU to;
- Raise awareness of consumers so that they understand their rights.
- Ensure that supervised financial institutions have the knowledge and skills to meet the requirements of the Financial Consumer Protection Guidelines.
- Strengthen BOU’s supervisory procedures to ensure compliance
Every member of the audience left the hall way after 7.15pm as they demanded that all questions raised be ably answered.
The fun doesn’t stop at RC of Kampala South. See you next week as we host the famous Peter Kimbowa taking us through Financial Awareness in a day to day life.

MEMORABLE VISIT BY DISTRICT GOVERNOR
Posted by Charles Odaga on Sep 01, 2015
The Rotary Club of Kampala South was very proud to host the DG Robert Nsibirwa during their fellowship on Monday 31st August 2015. The DG commenced this visit by meeting the board members. The Directors all presented status reports which were scrutinized by the DG.
He commended the progress by the club, however he challenged the board to think bigger in the service projects and seek to attain at least five running global grants. He pledged to help the club seek partnering clubs all over the world to see this through. He was also alarmed by the gender imbalance within the club and advised the club to focus on recruiting more women because statistics show that women are more passionate at service projects and rotary work.
He spoke passionately about Rotary Vijana Poa and beseeched the club to incorporate this ideology into our service projects.
The DG concluded his visit by presenting the President with a special banner and scarf. He also presented Rotary branded gifts to the President of Rotaract Club of Kampala South and the President of Rotaract Club of IUEA.
The evening was crowned by the cutting of a ceremonial cake to celebrate the birthday of the club members who had birthdays during the month.
You are reminded to check our schedule for the exciting fellowship programs.

Gift of Life - A reason to smile
Posted by Charles Odaga on Aug 13, 2015
Gift of Life (U) is a health program which is coordinated by Uganda Rotary Gift of Life Program. It is a joint program with Rotary Clubs in Uganda, Uganda Heart Institute and Gift of Life International. It targets children with life threatening heart conditions especially those from under privileged homes whose parents/guardians cannot afford to pay for heart procedures. The end result hence gives the children a ‘gift of life’ and a reason to smile. The initiate was started by Rotary Club of Kampala who partnered with Manhasset Rotary Club USA to provide the first beneficiary of the program, Grace Agwaru, with a live giving heart surgery in USA. She, at five years old, received a new lease of life. A gift of life……
Wednesday 12th August was a very exciting day at the Uganda Heart Institute. A team of Rotarians from the Rotary Clubs of Kampala South and Kampala Ssese and led by Country Chair Rtn Sam Farouk, were happily ushered into the board room which is within the ward at block 1C, new Mulago hospital. Their mission was to meet the management team of the Heart Institute and hand over proceeds from a fundraising drive under the Gift Of Life (Uganda).

Awaiting the Rotarians was Dr. John Odiri Ogund Omagino and Dr Lubega the Director of UHI and Pediatric cardiologist respectively. Also present from UHI were the Finance Director, Human Resource director and the Public Relations Officer.

In his opening remarks Dr Omagino (in (A) above - standing), presented stark facts about the current status of the UHI vis-à-vis the number of heart patients (especially children). The sobering facts included but were not limited to;
- 15,000 babies born with heart defects each year.
- 50% require medical intervention and it could be anybody’s child.
- UHI has capacity to handle 1,000 cases per year but currently operating at on 20% due to challenges caused by lack of surgical sundries.
- The have the most up to date equipment that is on the market. Their cardinal rule is always go for the very best in the market.
- 90% of procedures and processes used at the UHI are accredited by international bodies.
- They no longer need visiting teams because they have skilled manpower.
- Their promise is that no child should return home after a visit without a follow-up anointment for surgery i.e. they sacrifice a lot for kids but strict on adults.
- Extremely thankful for Government support that has raised budget from 1B to 4B in the last year.
- Have signed an MOU with GOL (International) for $77,000 and packages being cleared at the airport all to aid the surgery of 50 more children. Of the 50 planned they already have 30 in dire need and the procedures are starting next week.
In his remarks, the District Gift of Life Officer, Rotarian Joseph Baroraho (in B standing) reaffirmed the commitment of Rotary Uganda to continue supporting this noble cause and thanks the team at UHI for their unwavering resolve to treating the children and other patients. The Country Chair Rtn Sam Farouk also applauded the UHI team and thanked the rotary Clubs for inviting him to officiate at this event.
There was thunderous clapping when the Rotary team finally presented a dummy cheque to the UHI Medical Director (please note that the actually cash cheques were also handed to the finance director who issued receipts).
It was also noted that the Rotary Club of Kampala South had earlier presented a cheque of 15M to the institute. The amount presented to date ensures that 8 children will be assured of surgery commencing next week.
We call upon all other clubs to join in this cause for a better future for our children.
The Uganda Rotary Gift of Life program together with the Uganda Heart Institute have agreed that detailed accountability will be provided for all the funds that are availed to UHI by Uganda Rotary Club. The accountability will include providing the pictures and the short medical history of the children that are to benefit from this program as well as the contacts of the parents and guardians. This will enable the Rotarians to follow up these children and further find other programs (within the areas of focus) that will make us all Be A Gift To The World.

The obstacle in our path
Posted by Francesca Kakooza on Nov 03, 2013
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Facts about Rotary
Posted by Francesca Kakooza on Nov 03, 2013
Did you know?
That Rotary founder Paul Harris wasn’t the first president of a Rotary club?
That distinction is actually held by Harris’s friend Silvester Schiele, who served as the first president of the Rotary Club of Chicago. Harris deferred his club leadership duties until February 1907, when he was elected the third president of the Chicago club.
That Edinburgh, Scotland, hosted the first convention outside North America in June 1921.
Rotary’s first convention in Asia was held in Tokyo in 1961. Among the record-setting 23,366 paid and unpaid registrants was the emperor of Japan.
The largest convention to date, based on the number of paid registrants, was Osaka, Japan, in 2004, followed by the Rotary centennial convention, held in Chicago in 2005.

Rotarians and non-Rotarians, old and young, gathered at Kololo Airstrip to try out their luck in the 5kms, 10kms and 21kms races. The time was 6.30 a.m. and by 7.00 a.m. all was set for the first race - 21 kms, which was flagged off by the Golden boy, Stephen Kiprotich. Ten minutes later, the Rt Hon. Speaker, Rebecca Kadaga took centre stage and flagged off the 10kms race before joining the rest of the sprinters for the 5kms race. And to the amazement of all made it to the finishing line in an hour.
The corporates, Pepsi Cola, Centenary Bank and Rwenzori Water among others graced the day with refreshments, and Red Cross was not left out with their ambulance and wonderful massages for those who needed the services. Parliament of Uganda was also there to provide a heavy breakfast for those that were lucky to receive it.
Altogether, over 8,000 participated in the Run. PDG Stephen Mwanje closed the day with introductions of members of the organizing team, and Hon. Ruhakana Rugunda, Minister of Foreign Affairs officiated at the closing. The winners in each race received gift hampers which included cartons of Rwenzori Mineral Water and Pepsi Cola
Rotary Club of Kampala South was well represented by among others PPs Aggrey and Parity, who doubled as officials at the Run, Club President, Esther, PPs David and Michael, IPP Jane, Rtns Lilliane, Wendy, Prossy, Geoffrey, Ian, Paul, Patrick and Mike.
A great day it was, as we look forward to yet another Cancer Run – the 3rd Run - next August 2014.

Inspiring speakers this August at our Monday fellowships
Posted by Parity Twinomujuni on Aug 17, 2013
This August, Rotary Club of Kampala South sought inspiring speakers for its fellowships. On Monday, 5th August 2013, the club hosted a special visitor and friend, courtesy of PP Michael Ojok - d’Arcy Lunn, an educator who is passionate about teaching, sharing, volunteering, travel and learning. His passions have taken him to almost 60 countries around the world – including Kyrgyzstan, Ethiopia and Arctic Canada.
In the first half of 2012, d'Arcy worked on polio community engagement programs in Australia, Canada and the USA, during which he gave more than 60 polio presentations to over 3000 people in Rotary clubs, schools and communities. In the second half of 2012, d'Arcy worked in collaboration with UNICEF and Rotary in Pakistan and India. d'Arcy recently returned to Australia and Aotearoa in New Zealand this year to make “The End of Polio presentations”. He is part of the “Stop Transmission of Polio” program with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and his polio assignment will take him to East Africa for the remainder of the year. He has already completed his visit to Uganda.

Progress at Kikandwa Health Centre
Posted by Ian Senkatuka on Aug 17, 2013
On Saturday, 10th August 2013, club members led by the service projects committee members visited the construction site of the Kikandwa Health Center to assess the progress of the works to date. Works have progressed with the completion of timber work for the roof and ceiling inside the building, and the roofing that was completed on Tuesday 13th August.
The first phase (pictured) of the Kikandwa Health Centre is at the level of a Government health centre III and includes: Three doctors’ treatment rooms, a laboratory, an emergency surgery room, a spacious waiting room and a pharmacy.
Among other proposals to improve the construction works, club members proposed that rain harvesting water tanks are installed as well as wash basins in all the doctors’ treatment rooms and the laboratory, and plumbing fittings should be complete before the plastering of walls is done. Members present also proposed that the community should be involved in the decision on roofing colours as well as paint colours for the entire centre as one way in which they will own the project.
The construction is under the supervision of the service projects committee members, namely: Rtn Ian Senkatuka, PP Joseph Baroraho, Rtn Wendy Kasujja, PP Don Byabazaire, PP Richard Mayebo and Rtn Prossy Nambi. They were accompanied to view the progress of works by: Club President, Esther Mwambu, Rtns: Daniel Bogere, Cyrus Aomu, Doneld Ndyabashanga, Kim Kasana, and Lilliane Iculet. Community members and construction workers were present too.

ROTARACT CLUB OF KAMPALA SOUTH CHARTER DINNER by Charter President Paul Atwine
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Jun 28, 2013
“The highest reward for one’s toil is not what one gets for it, but what one becomes by it.” – John Ruskin Our toil began on a chilly Thursday evening in August 2012 and climaxed into a very wonderful Charter/Installation dinner that was held on the 22nd of June at Shanghai Restaurant. Having officially received our Charter Certificate from Mother Club, we could now proudly say that by our toil, we had become a fully fledged Rotaract Club.
This dinner was the first we were organizing as a club and suffice it to say we pulled it off. The preparations were rather inept but fortune smiled upon us and some how we managed to secure a large attendance of Seven Rotary Clubs, 14 Rotaract Clubs and 10 guests. I couldn’t help but notice a large delegation of Rotarians from Mother Club as I walked into Shanghai, it was truly overwhelming and I must say they dressed elegantly for the occasion.

PRESIDENT JANE BOWS OUT
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Jun 28, 2013
Our District Governor Geeta Manek said at the beginning of the year ‘Remember to celebrate the achievements of the past and lay out a better future’. This was the theme that run throughout the RC Kampala South Rotary year 2012-13.
We celebrated 20 years of achievements in the Club in our Charter Night celebration. The organization of the grand ceremony was spearheaded by our very own Past Presidents under the leadership of PP Joseph Baroraho. They pulled it off in a ceremony full of fellowship, fond memories, and fun plus fundraising for our Tumaini Project. We had the rare occasion to be eye witnesses to our very smart PP Michael complete with a bow tie and to hear the joke of the evening from PP Antony who did not wear a tie purportedly in sympathy with his brother PP Mike! We are truly honoured greatly appreciate each and every one of our Past Presidents for their continued dedication to the Club and support throughout the Rotary year. Thank you all very much!

RI PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - JUNE 2013
Posted by David Kahwa on Jun 28, 2013

Dear fellow Rotarians,
A Rotary convention is a powerful thing, and a first convention is an experience you never forget. My first was in Chicago, in 1980. That was the year I was president of the Rotary Club of Yashio. I thought we should learn more about Rotary, so I asked nine other members of my club to join me, and we traveled to Chicago together. We did not know what to expect from a Rotary convention. What we found was more than any of us had imagined.

GROUND BREAKING AT RC KAMPALA SOUTH NEW HEALTH CENTRE PROJECT
Posted by Fredrick Tumusiime on Jun 28, 2013
The many months of planning and site visits culminated into a ground breaking ceremony on 9th June 2013 for the construction of a community health centre for Kikandwa, Kayunga. The project, which is in partnership with the RC of Des Moines AM, Iowa, USA, D6000 and Drake University, USA, was first announced in January 2013.
The ceremony included speeches by representatives of the Local Leadership, Church of Uganda, RC Kampala South, and Drake University. Speaker after speaker implored the intended beneficiaries to own the project to ensure its sustainability. The community has already demonstrated commitment by contributing materials and labour for the construction of the Health Center.

For project sustainability, the operation and maintenance of health centre will be a joint effort of the Church of Uganda in the area, community members and students from Drake University. The latter already have various community activities in the project area.

The RC Kampala South Project Team expresses gratitude to Rotarians and Rotaractors, who spent the better part of their Heroes’ Day in Kayunga to be part of the historic event. In President Jane’s words, “the project will go a long way in contributing to national development.”

JOURNEY TO KITENDE by Charter President Paul Atwine
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Jun 28, 2013
“What we hope to do with ease, we must learn first to
do with diligence”- Samuel Johnson
On the 30th of March 2013, a group of young
individuals all bound by the ideal of service set off for Kitende-Sekiwunga
Community for an immunization outreach. At the time the sustainability of this
project was in question for though we had the will to see it through, we were
limited in both resources and experience but nonetheless we forged a head.
The young individuals then branded a provisional Club,
are now a fully fledged Rotaract Club of Kampala south with 24 young
professionals all dedicated to the ideal of service above self.

88TH DCA - I WAS THERE AND SAW IT ALL!
Posted by Esther Mwambu on May 03, 2013
Getting to the conference venue
The day was Wednesday, 23rd April, and all was set for the grand finale of D9200. My mates for this great occasion were PP Jackie and Rtn Lilliane. We had it all and were very expectant of the Mombasa trip. Indeed the conference events and activities did not disappoint as it turned out later.
The trip with Air Uganda was okay and by 11.30 p.m. We had landed at Moi International Airport, Mombasa. Two hours later at about 3.30 p.m. we were at the hotel and conference venue, Leisure Lodge. We checked in and had settled in by 5.00 p.m ready for three days of fun and fellowship. Rotarians on Kenya Airways flight that departed at 10.00 a.m. however slowly but surely, made it by 3.30 p.m. and a few others by 7.30 p.m. just in time for dinner.

Day 1: Wednesday 23rd
We had the welcome cocktail and dinner dance with a live band. All Rotarians and guests present were evidently thrilled and set for the fun. We danced till 11.00 p.m. and retired for a restful sleep with the soothing breeze of the ocean.

Posted by David Kahwa on May 03, 2013
Dear fellow Rotarians,
From the moment I was nominated as Rotary International president, I knew I would choose a theme that would focus on peace. This is why I planned three peace forums – to give Rotarians an opportunity to think about peace, to talk about peace, and to share their ideas on building peace together. The final Rotary Global Peace Forum takes place this month in Hiroshima, Japan.

The GSE Journey continues with a lot of activities and learning. Yesterday we were at the Rotary Club of Leavenworth, Kansas and shared with them information about our club. They sing the national anthem instead of the loyal toast - very inspiring.

TWINNING PROTOCOLS FOR RC KAMPALA SOUTH AND RC MILIMANI SIGNED SEALED AND DELIVERED
Posted by David Kahwa on May 03, 2013
It started off as a simple challenge to the President (Jane) by Rotarian Don, who had linked up with the Rotary Club of Milimani last year in March 2012. It so happened that the link person in the Rotary Club of Milimani was also called Jane. So Don as a first step tried to set up a meeting between Jane and Jane at the DCA in Nairobi last year, but the Jane’s failed to meet. However, Don was very positive and posited “that even if the meeting between the two failed, we needed to start the twinning process, and that we could not fail to find a common interest”.
Thanks to modern communication, the two got off to a start in July 2012. Both clubs presented the Twinning projects to their Board’s and the project was approved as part of the International relations activities. It is then that the project was formally handed over to the TRF/Director International relations. Since then, several correspondences were exchanged between the Rotary Clubs Kampala South and Milimani in an attempt to work out modalities for this novelty that we were entering into. Key issues we were grappling with included the need to sign an MoU which defined exactly what we would share as clubs.

A GLIMPSE INTO ROTARY By Robert Odetta - Rotaract Club of IUEA
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Apr 12, 2013
Robert participating in blood donation Project by Rtc IUEA
For a very long time, I have heard about rotary, seen the logo (the wheel) along high ways, caught sight of others here and there but never in all this time did I stop to ask myself what rotary is and its character. I am now a university student about to complete my second year and not only am I a member of the Rotaract Club of International University of East Africa (IUEA), I am also the Director Club Service.
Robert with Club Members and new Friend at Lira Intercity Conference
Rotaract Club of IUEA, is a child born only less than a year to date under the loving arms of Kampala South (Mother club) with thanks to President Jane Bitek Langoya (KS president) and her team whose generous support and guidance has seen us come a long way. It is at this point in my life that I developed a better and deeper understanding of rotary and its activities and I am proud to be a part of this wonderful experience. Truth be told, a lot of people out there (prospects), just like I was, know little or nothing at all about rotary and we need to not only tell them but to show them what rotary is all about. By doing so we may provide many more with the opportunity to appreciate what we as Rotarians or Rotaractors do and with all conviction, get them to participate directly or indirectly towards rotary activities.

ROTARACT CLUB OF KAMPALA SOUTH IMMUNIZATION PROJECT by Charter President Paul Atwine
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Apr 12, 2013
"Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all
mankind." - Emily P. Bissell
Many a forum have been carried out to create awareness about Maternal Health Careand the above quote from Emil P Bissel lends itself to the suggestion that these forums and the ideas exchanged at thembecome great thoughts speaking only to the thoughtful mind, the mind of he who listens and is inspired in what they think say or do and will take the initiative to provide a service above self that will become that great action that will speak to all mankind.
Maternal Health Care is one of the points of focus this Rotary year and we are fortunate to have executed a Charter Project under maternal health care, a project that was just one of rotary’s humble efforts to reduce on the child mortality rates in Uganda.
On the March 30th 2013 the now chartered Rotaract Club of Kampala South set off to Kitende-Sekiwunga Community from the Rendevouspoint at Chinese Restaurant-Centenary Park, for their Charter project which was the Kitende Immunization Project.

The roots of this project can be traced back to the challenge mother club put towards us to carry out a project in order for us to be chartered which we slow but surely ended up executing. This project was suggested to us last year by President Enid from our sister club the Rotary Club of Kajjansi, who happens to reside In Kajjansi and her club had carried out an immunization in this area. However as we all know immunization is something that requires a collective effort of partners in service to truly make an impact and as such the project was adopted at our club assembly in February.

RI PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY MESSAGE - APRIL 2013
Posted by David Kahwa on Apr 12, 2013
Dear fellow Rotarians,
Rotary is an international organization, and when I travel for Rotary, I usually speak in English. But it has been a long time since my last English exam, and when I am working in Evanston, I always have a Japanese interpreter. It is important to understand every word of the meetings, and it is important as well that the staff understand what I am saying.
It was a new experience for me to speak Japanese to a group, and then hear my words spoken in English. Even now, I find it interesting. I hear new ways of expressing myself in English, and I also have a small glimpse of what it must be like not to speak Japanese.

Posted by Caroline Abeja - Apunyo on Apr 12, 2013
Friends,
Today, April 7, is World Health day. Each year a theme is selected for World Health Day that highlights a priority area of public health concern in the world.
The theme for 2013 is high blood pressure.
Please make time to have your blood pressure checked this week.
High blood pressure – also known as hypertension – increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. If left uncontrolled, high blood pressure can also cause blindness, impotence, irregularities of the heartbeat and heart failure.

The letter was received on the 22nd February 2013 and requested the blood donation exercise to take place on the 27th or 28th February 2013.

On the 28th February 2013 at 09:00 AM, the NBB team were positioned with their equipment and ready to begin the blood donating exercise. Blood donating counselling with all participating students including the highlighting of its benefits was conducted prior to the start of the operation.

April is Rotary Magazine Month! Whilst we are fortunate to have access to "The Rotarian" magazine, spare a thought for those who are not able to buy magazines, read magazines and therefore keep unto date with information about current issues or even what Rotary does in the world. I am certain that during this month of April alone, you will probably read a dozen or so work-related reports, newspapers, perhaps even a couple of books, let alone read and answer an untold number of emails.

PROV RTC KAMPALA SOUTH WINS USHS 1,000,000 by Joanita Asiimwe - Secretary Elect
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Mar 30, 2013
ANNUAL LITERACY FAIR QUIZ SPONSORED BY FAWE AND ROYALWAY MEDIA
Combating illiteracy has been the focus of Rotary International since its formation in 1905. Simple reading skills affect our lives and can be crucial to functioning in society, achieving our goals and developing our potential. Literacy is essential for eradicating poverty, reducing child mortality, curbing population growth, achieving gender equality and sustainable development, peace and unity.
In 1985 rotary introduced literacy as a precondition for development of peace.March is the literacy month on the Rotary calendar and it is for this reason that the Rotaract club of KampalaCity organized its Annual Literacy Festival with a quiz that attracted most of the Rotaract clubs in Kampala. This year’s quiz focused on financial literacy and sought to educate the young professionals on matters of revenue and taxation, insurance, accountancy, banking and on the principals and history of Rotary International.

HANDOVER OF JJANYI PRIMARY SCHOOL PROJECT TO COMMUNITY
Posted by Aggrey Kankunda on Mar 16, 2013
The date 8 March 2013 will go in the annals of our club as a double whammy milestone. On that day we joined our sisters of the club (growing in number by the day) in celebrating the International Women’s Day. And, boy, did they make a showing at the Jjanyi grounds (more later).
More importantly we officially handed over our flagship project (Jjanyi Primary School classroom block construction) to the community. This project was started in 2002 and has cost over Shs 150 million so far. The aura of celebration and joy was simply palpable and felt by all and sundry. All key stakeholders were present: about 30 of the club members and a score of Rotarians & Rotaractors from our baby club, almost the entire school management committee (headed by the selfless chair – Prof Kasozi of Kardic Hospital), the District Inspection Officer (Mr. Tibashaba), the COU clergy headed by Omubulizi Charles Ataliwanda and the beneficiaries in big numbers.

RI PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY MESSAGE - MARCH 2013
Posted by David Kahwa on Mar 16, 2013
When I was a young man, I wanted to travel the world. But in those years, I could only dream about travel. The world outside Japan seemed far away. But like all Japanese students, I studied English in school. I still remember my first English book. The first page said, "This is a pen." That was almost 50 years ago, and the world has changed a lot since then. As president of Rotary, I now travel more than I ever dreamed.

FELLOWSHIP AT JJANYI CHURCH SERVICE
Posted by Rita Tinka on Mar 09, 2013
Certificate of title handed over to RC Kampala South by All Saints Jjanyi Church
Jjanyi particularly picked for being in the club’s jurisdiction but also for its rather unique being. This project that seems to have been around since the club was formed, has a success story that beats non I have seen. From fishermen who behaved like pastoralists moving from place to place in search of fish, almost 98% school drop out, and 35 pupils in the school, to a more settled community and about 400 pupils in the school at present.
There had never been any real form of interaction with the community who are the direct beneficiaries of this school other than with the school administration and pupils. Thanks to Wendy, the gap was bridged with a church service held 3rd March 2013.

RC KAMPALA SOUTH LEADS CHURCH SERVICE WITH JJANYI COMMUNITY
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Mar 09, 2013
The Members of the Rotary Club of Kampala South decided to hand over the Jjanyi Primary School project to the community so that they may be empowered to take complete ownership and responsibility for the school structures as well as the welfare of the children that pass through this school. As a prelude to the hand over the members RC Kampala South attended service at JJanyi All Saints Church.
The service was in Luganda and the first reading was taken by Antony Mwandha while the second reading was taken by Rita Tinka. You would believe that they were daughter and son of the soil, respectively, from their well developed Luganda accents! Some of the comments on the RC Kampala South face book page were serous and hilarious in equal measure.

ROTARY HISTORY - DEATH OF A LEGEND
Posted by David Kahwa on Mar 09, 2013

In December 1945, the Harrises traveled to Tuskegee, Alabama, for the winter months, a trip they had made many times. He was not feeling well when they departed from Chicago by train. Shortly after they arrived, Harris received word that Sylvester Schiele, one of Rotary’s four founding members, had died.
In Tuskegee on 20 December 1945, Leland Childs interviewed Harris about the founding and future of Rotary. In early 1946, Harris contracted influenza.

DG'S MESSAGE FOR MARCH 2013
Posted by David Kahwa on Mar 09, 2013
Dear Rotarians,
Literacy is so important that in 1985, Rotary declared basic literacy to be a pre-condition to the development of peace. To drive relevance to this point, let us, for a moment, imagine that we could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people and maintaining the proportions of all the people living on Earth. What would the composition of that village look like? Eighty people out of the 100 would live in poverty, 70 people would be illiterate, 50 would suffer from hunger and malnutrition, and only one would have a university degree. There is a very strong correlation between the level of literacy one has and the state of one's economic and health status.

RI PRESIDENT ELECT'S THEME SPEECH by Ron D. Burton, RI president 2013-14
Posted by David Kahwa on Mar 01, 2013
Engage Rotary, Change Lives:
Ron D. Burton
Good morning! Welcome to Rotary's 2013 International Assembly.
Standing here today, I can't help but think back to Nashville, Tennessee, 26 years ago. That was when I attended the International Assembly as an incoming district governor. It was an incredible experience, just as I hope this assembly will be an incredible experience for all of you. But there is something else that links the International Assembly of 1987 with the International Assembly of 2013 — and it's not just that Ron Burton was at both of them.

In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-Way Test, a code of ethics adopted by Rotary 11 years later. The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions:
Of the things we think, say or do
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

REFLECTIONS ON CLUB RETREAT AND VOCATIONAL TOUR
Posted by Peter Mukuru on Feb 23, 2013
Despite Aggrey's accident from his garage experiment earlier in the week (I hope it wasn't an effort to frustrate our retreat), I must say, this year's retreat has been the best in my few years in Kampala South. I am confident that I share this opinion with majority of you, if not all. Of course a few people have over enjoyed (is that English?) Aggrey's hospitality since they have been at his farm since Thursday and they have refused to leave until Sunday or Monday.
Unlike previous retreats where members started yawning by midday, this time everyone was actively listening and contributing to the discussions until about 3.45pm when the lunch bells were sounded. What a show of commitment!

ROTARY HISTORY: LIFE AND TIMES OF PAUL HARRIS - Service to Rotary
Posted by David Kahwa on Feb 23, 2013
After setting up his law practice in Chicago, Harris conceived of an organization for local professionals to meet for fellowship and collaboration. He proposed the idea to several business associates, and on 23 February 1905, they held what would later become known as the first Rotary club meeting.
Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram Shorey gathered at Loehr’s office in Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago to discuss the idea of forming the new organization. They later held a second meeting, to which they invited a fifth member, Harry Ruggles. By the third meeting, which had a greater turnout than the previous ones, the club members had elected Schiele as their first president.

ET: WHO IS ROTARIAN ANTHONY?
AM: Many people wonder at the spelling of my name. Antony Mwandha it is NOT Anthony Mwanda. The “h” was removed from my first name and placed in my surname hence Antony!
I have served in multiple capacities including Attendance which I grew pleasantly fond of and I did for two years without a break. I met many of the Rotarians I now know while manning the attendance. Rtn. Paulo Muwanga replaced me at the attendance. Club Service, vocational service among others. I never served as secretary before my presidency, which was a requirement then.

MY EXPERIENCE AT RYLA 2013 by Moses Musinguzi - aka Mr. Ryla
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Feb 23, 2013
Provisional Rct Kampala South at RYLA
This was my first time to attend RYLA which was held at St. Henry’s College Kitovu in Masaka. I have been an active rotaractor with the provisional rotaract club of Kampala south since November 2012.
I didn’t know what to expect as we set off from steak out for the trip but I had a rough idea of what would happen so I was anxious to get to the venue. The journey was amazing because the bus I was on had really funny characters who made sure their presence was felt by cracking jokes as the bus made its way to Masaka.

RI PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY MESSAGE - FEBRUARY 2013 By RI president Sakuji Tanaka
Posted by David Kahwa on Feb 23, 2013
Dear fellow Rotarians,
In December, I spoke at the first of the three Rotary Global Peace Forums we have planned for this Rotary year. This first event, with the theme "Peace Without Borders," was held in Berlin, the home of the Berlin Peace Clock. The clock, intended as a piece of art, is 3 meters high and weighs over 2 tons. On its side are inscribed the words, Time bursts all walls asunder.
In Rotary, we do not divide our work by nation, culture, or language. It does not matter what is printed in your passport. What matters is that you believe in Service Above Self. But even in Rotary, it is easy to think in terms of countries or communities.

The following flags were gracefully ushered into the conference venues: Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Japan, Canada, United Kingdom, Unites States of America and the RI flag. the Uganda flag was ushered in last and was the cue for the signing of the national anthem.

THE INTERCITY CONFERENCE COCKTAIL
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Feb 16, 2013
I have attended many Inter City conferences but this has been the best so far. 'DG Geeta’s closing remarks at the Intercity Conference in Lira’.
‘The Intercity Conference, co-hosted by RC Kampala South, was wonderful, and as your Assistant Governor I was very proud of you.’. AG Sam Mwanje at RC Kampala South Fellowship
The two comments of our District Governor and our Assistant District Governor say it all.
The Intercity Conference that was held in Lira on 9th February 2014 was co-hosted by RC Kampala South alongside the hosts, RC Lira. The conference started off with a cocktail/disco.
The disco was a unique combination of cultural and modern music. Rotarians became instant stars in Luo dancing strokes as they easily caught up with the locals in executing the intricate dancing stokes with stunning precision. The men almost out-competed the ladies in gyrating their waists as each tried to imitate the local cultural dance troop that had been hired to spice up the cocktail.

As the Intercity Conference cocktail took off in high gear, the Conference Chair AG Levi Abongo, the Co-Chair President Jane Bitek Langoya and the Conference Director of Program's PAG Caroline Abeja sneaked out to participate in a live radio talk show at Voice of Lango, FM 88.00.
The show, whose airtime was at no cost to the Rotarians, courtesy of the Voice of Lango Radio Station, was in Luo and was very well moderated by the presenter Ferdinand,. The trio was able to inform the listeners what Rotary is all about, how Rotary has helped humanity, with special emphasis on projects in Lira and the Lango region, and how one can join Rotary.

MY REFLECTIONS ON THE ROTARY CLUB OF KAMPALA-SOUTH by PDG. C.M.D. (Chris) Mutalya
Posted by Irene Namuli on Feb 02, 2013
The late 1980s and early 1990s experienced the greatest crusade of Rotary growth in Uganda and I am happy to have been both a product and an actor in the process, as the Charter President and of the new R C Kyambogo-Kampala (RCKK), chartered September 21, 1989. Our membership drive went far and wide and we attracted many from within and outside our geographical area. With two of our new members of Asian origin, H.S. Notay and S.S. Kalsey (RIP), we had attracted many potential members from Kampala business community, with the help of Mzee Rtn. Ramnal Patel of the R C Kampala-North. This created the opportunity 1991-92 which led to the exciting idea of the organization of the R C Kampala-South.

ROTARY HISTORY - RI THEMES By Susan Hanf Rotary International News
Posted by David Kahwa on Feb 02, 2013
Each January, as Rotary district governors-elect convene at the International Assembly for training and fellowship, they can be certain of two things: a lot of take-home reading and the announcement of a new RI theme. The tradition of crafting a theme is credited to 1949-50 RI President Percy C. Hodgson, who outlined a list of four objectives for his term in office. Among them were the better application of the principles of vocational service and dedication to world understanding and peace through international service programs.

THE LOW DOWN - ISAAC SERWANGA LWANGA
Posted by Irene Namuli on Feb 02, 2013
You can run but cannot hide very far from the Kampala South Times Editorial Team!! Imagine how shocked our member Isaac Serwanga Lwanga (aka G-10) was when we “smoked” him out of his hide-out?! Well here is the fruit of our labor.
ET: TELL ME ABOUT ROTARIAN ISAAC? ISS: I believe am an easily approachable outgoing person that is always intrigued by nature/scenery. I joined Rotary in August 2004 from the Rotaract Club of Kololo. Three people are key in my Rotaract formation years- Rtns Roger Wamara , Alfred Okot Okidi and Fred Mubiru. I of course was later on guided by others and the rest as they say is history. My classification is stock control services and I presently mainly serve on the service projects committee.

DG'S MESSAGE FOR FEBRUARY 2013 By DG Geeta Manek
Posted by David Kahwa on Feb 02, 2013
Dear Rotarians,
The month of February is World Understanding Month for Rotarians throughout the world. Even though we practice this perpetually throughout the Rotary year, it is a particular time for us to emphasize the importance of focusing on goodwill and understanding in the world. This is especially symbolic since, the first Rotary meeting was on February 23, 1905. It is no accident therefore, that Rotary International has also designated February 23rd as World Understanding and Peace Day.

ROTARY YEAR 2008/9 BY PP MICHAEL OJOK
Posted by Michael Ojok on Jan 26, 2013
The theme for the year 2005/06 was Make Dreams Real. Key achievements during the year were the following; Service Projects, the club had been restricted from Matching Grants (MG) because it had failed to close a MG with RC Mengo on a Project "Send A Cow", it was finally closed and over the agreed 5 maximum number of MG were raised and sent to RI and three were immediately approved we would have had all the 5 slots full but that was the year of credit crunch so TRF funds were also cut accordingly, but meaning we started the year with 1MG and ended with 4MG. Membership increased by 6 from 28 to 34. I held the first Board meeting at home giving a homely welcome environment. Club visibility was put at Wampewo avenue.
Key words of wisdom; that I would give to the Club are Innovation, Sustainability and Inspiration.

WHY THE ROTARY YEAR BEGINS 1 JULY By Susan Hanf and Jason Lamb - Rotary International News
Posted by David Kahwa on Jan 26, 2013
Ever wonder why the Rotary year begins 1 July? The international convention initially played a key role in determining the start date of our fiscal and administrative year.
Rotary’s first fiscal year began the day after the first convention ended, on 18 August 1910. The 1911-12 fiscal year also related to the convention, beginning with the first day of the 1911 convention on 21 August.

THE LOW DOWN - WENDY KASUJJA
Posted by Irene Namuli on Jan 19, 2013
The Editorial Team of the Kampala South Rotary Times thinks Wendy is most fascinating person this week and would like to share their finding with you.

ET: WHO IS ROTARIAN WENDY?
WK: The good community work done by Rotarians is admirable and I wanted to be a part of it. So, when I got the opportunity to be invited for Fellowship at the Rotary Club of Kampala South, I was sold and have never looked back. I joined Rotary in November 2009 and have on two occasions held the position of Service Projects Director and done a stint as Public Relations Director.
ET: OUTSIDE ROTARY?
WK: I am a sister to three tall gentlemen and an aunt to a number of beautiful nieces and handsome nephews. My friends are special, interesting people, who make me laugh, put me in my place when I stray and generally make me a better person, something I try to reciprocate. Most of them describe me as energetic, confident and a sharp-shooter. Around them I can be myself, both the good and the bad.

RC KIWATULE AND RC KAMPALA SOUTH ROTARY AWARENESS DAY
Posted by Jennifer Byokusheka on Jan 19, 2013

The Rotary Clubs of Kiwatule and Kampala South jointly hosted the Rotary Awareness Day on Thursday, 19th January 2012 at Hotel Africana. The function was graced by the presence of the Country Chair Robert Nsibirwa Waggwa and attended by a total of 109 participants.
The Rotary Awareness day was conceived by the Rotary Clubs of Kampala South and Kiwatule in the Rotary Year 2005/6. The objective was to invite the public and give them information on Rotary and eventually invite them to join Rotary. This was a successful event that led to the recruitment of new members into the Rotary fraternity. Although it stalled for a couple of years, the two Sister Clubs decided to revive it as an annual recruitment event.

ROTARY HISTORY: ROTARY AND BOYS' WEEK Rotary International News
Posted by David Kahwa on Jan 19, 2013
The history of Rotary's work with youth dates back to the 1920s, when many clubs took part in an international event known as Boys' Week.
The first Boys' Week was held in New York City in May 1920 by the Rotary Club of New York and other local organizations. The event was part of an effort to promote youth development in the areas of education, citizenship, health and hygiene, and vocation.
New York club members reported on the success of Boys' Week at the 1920 Rotary convention, hoping that it would become part of the Boys' Work program, which Rotary had established several years earlier with the creation of the Committee on Work among the Boys (later known as the Boys' Work Committee).

AN UNWAVERING IDEAL OF SERVICE by Paul Atwine Prov Rtc Club Kla South
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Jan 12, 2013
“As a plant springs from and could not be without the seed, so every act of man springs from the hidden seeds of thoughts and could not have appeared without. This applies equally to those acts called “spontaneous” and “unpremeditated” as to those deliberately executed.” As a Man Thinketh - James Allen
There is always thunder before lighting as there are thoughts before action.
We are not Rotarians and Rotaracters by mistake or wantonly. Much thought and consideration is put in by many before they become Rotarians/ Rotaracters; we transcend thought and imagine a world in which we can make a difference and in so doing became among the few that have answered the call to serve above self.

ROTARY HISTORY: FRIENDSHIP TREES By Susan Hanf Rotary International News
Posted by David Kahwa on Jan 12, 2013
Rotarians have planted trees in the name of fellowship, friendship, and community service since the early 20th century. These trees, which can be found worldwide, have grown into enduring monuments of Rotary’s ideals.
As president emeritus, Harris traveled extensively during the 1920s and 1930s, often accompanied by his wife Jean. During these trips, the nature-loving Harris planted trees to symbolize goodwill and friendship. In the fall of 1932, Harris embarked on a five-week tour of European Rotary clubs and planted trees along the way.

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30.
The Rotary Club of Kampala South had the opportunity of hosting one RYLA 24-27th January 2008 at Nabinoonya Entebbe under the theme ‘Finance and Lifeskills’ where apt presenters on the above theme were invited to share their knowledge with the youths that were more than 175 in number.

RI PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY MESSAGE - JANUARY, 2013
Posted by David Kahwa on Jan 12, 2013
Dear fellow Rotarians,
I am a Japanese businessman, and I wear a suit almost every day. The Rotary pin is always on my lapel. It is there because I am proud to be a Rotarian. Anywhere I go, people will see the pin and know who I am. Other Rotarians will see it and know that I am a friend, and people who are not Rotarians will see it as well. I want to be sure that all of them also understand the meaning of this pin.
This is why I am asking all of you to wear your Rotary pin and to raise awareness of what the pin means. I believe having that pin on your lapel changes you. It makes you think more before you speak and before you act. It makes you remember, all the time, that you are a Rotarian – and that as Rotarians, we are here to help.

TAKING THE PENNANT By Susan Hanf Rotary International News
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Jan 05, 2013

One of the more colorful traditions of Rotary is the exchange of club banners. Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take banners to exchange at make-up meetings as a token of friendship. Many clubs use the decorative banners they have received for attractive displays at club meetings and district events.
By 1959, exchanging banners had become so popular that the RI Board of Directors was concerned the practice would be a financial burden on clubs. It urged Rotarians to “exercise discretion, moderation, and measured judgment in making provision for such exchanges.”

Happy New Year! Here we are at the start of 2013 and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Rotarians and their families a happy and healthy New Year! Up to now, I have visited the majority of the clubs within D9200. And like you, perhaps, I feel this is a great time to reflect on and take stock of the last few challenges we have to complete before turning over our gavels and chains of office. And in the same spirit, join me in congratulating all our incoming club leaders and officers duly appointed last month and keeping them in our thoughts – assure them of our support in their efforts in setting us on our course for the future of re-districting.

Martin Kiyagga (may his Soul Rest In eternal Peace), inducted me thereby moving on from the Rotaract Club of Kololo to this impressive Rotary Club of Kampala South. It was the end of a 3 month transition between Rotaract and Rotary.
I have always known Rotary to be a service oriented organisation and am happy to note it has remained that way. Over the years I have seen many people that were almost hopeless being given a new lease of life and getting back to being hopeful.

THE LOW DOWN - FREDRICK TUMUSIIME
Posted by Irene Namuli on Jan 05, 2013
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.

Posted by Wendy Kasujja on Dec 21, 2012

Saturday 15th December 2012, saw some Rotarians and Rotaractors alike grace the Christmas party at God’s Grace Orphanage in Kyebando, Kampala. The party was organized by the Rotary Club of Kampala South together with the Provisional Rotaract Club of Kampala South, as part of their shared projects.
God’s Grace Orphanage is a home that was started by Ms. Maria Kiwumulo, whose large heart has accommodated the plight of an astonishing 118 children at the home.

THE JOY OF GIVING
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Dec 21, 2012

Donations for the children at God’s grace orphanage poured in from Rotarians from RC Kampala South, RC Kampala Central, RC Kajjansi, RC Kampala Arch and Rotaractors from the Provisional Rct Club of Kampala South.
The donations included books, food stuff, drinks, children’s clothes, children’s shoes, a pram, adult clothes and shoes, amongst others.
The joy of giving was in the sense of belonging that we felt as we watched and felt the excitement of the children
The very presence of Rotarians, Rotaractors and guests was in a way a more precious gift to these little children. As we left, the question on their lips was ‘Aunty/Uncle when will you be back?
What a joy it is to give!

SERVING ABOVE SELF; MY EXPERIENCE
Posted by Esther Mwambu on Dec 07, 2012
I was first introduced to Rotary by a friend and Rotarian, Mrs Gudula Basaza of the Rotary Club of Kololo. That was way back in 2005. My understanding of Rotary then was an association of successful professionals meeting to share experiences. PP Donnan Byabazaire then became my mentor and sponsor. He encouraged me to visit as many clubs as possible and took me through the ABC of Rotary, having been a very active Rotaract and President of Rotaract Club of Kololo. That is when I finally made up my mind to join Rotary and was inducted into the Rotary family on Monday, 23rd January 2006 at a fellowship presided over by PP Susan Matovu, who was President in 2006/2007.

RI PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE FOR DECEMBER 2012
Posted by David Kahwa on Dec 07, 2012
Dear fellow Rotarians,
The year 2012 is nearly gone, and we have reached the midpoint of this Rotary year. It is time to take stock of the goals we have set for ourselves, and the progress we have made toward them. Are we on track to achieve what we set out to accomplish?
I am a great believer in the importance of setting goals that are high but realistic. A worthwhile goal should be within your reach but still require you to stretch. Opening yourself to a new challenge helps you find out what you are really capable of – which may well be more than you think

IUEA PROVISIONAL ROTARACT CLUB
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Dec 01, 2012
We are the Charter Members of the Provisional Rotaract club of International University of East Africa. With the help of Kampala South Rotary Club through President Jane Bitek Langoya, who worked tirelessly together with Mr.Parick Lassu to ensure that this club is established in the university: indeed it happened.
I, Jurugo Innocent, as the Charter President of the club, dearly appreciate President JANE for this remarkable service towards the future of these young leaders. The club started its first fellowship on Wednesday 10th /10th /2012. Being the child of Kampala South Rotary, we are strongly affiliated to their veterans (past presidents) and the members as well who regularly visit us during fellowship. This made me as the Charter President elect to come out with “Together to serve the communities” as the theme of the IUEA Rotaractclub.

THE TUMAINI (HOPE) PROJECT IN KIRYANDONGO DISTRICT, UGANDA
Posted by Wendy Kasujja on Dec 01, 2012
Introduction
While on a visit to Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement, members of the Rotary Club of Kampala South found two sad cases of children whose livelihoods were being destroyed by the lack of adequate medical care. Joseph Mwangi 9 years, had rectal dysfunction while Blessing Wanjiro Shiro 4½ years, could not pass waste normally.
In both cases, these children have become the source of ridicule and social stigma resulting from the injuries and biological malfunction respectively. The Rotary Club of Kampala South seeks to restore pride, self esteem, respect and hope to the families of these two children which have broken because of their conditions.

THE LOW DOWN - ANTONY MWANHDA
Posted by Antony Mwandha on Dec 01, 2012
History and home
Many years ago, the call of service arrived at home. From time to time we had to fight for our clothes as Mzee was packing them in sacks for unknown destinations.
Parentage
My parents were Rotarians. My father Emmanuel Wampa-Mwandha (RIP) was President of Rotary Club of Kampala - Arch club in 1985. His elder brother James Mwandha was also president in an earlier year. From time to time we saw a bound magazine which we used to call “Ro-train.” Had it not been for our mum, we would never have known the beautiful secrets hidden within.

Posted by David Kahwa on Dec 01, 2012
It's December, and we are in our sixth month; half way complete through our Rotary year of service. December is a joyous time, a time when in Rotary we reflect on Family. It naturally brings to mind not only the size of our Rotary family but also the many components that are part of it; especially, if you have visited other Clubs or attended conferences. You may have joined in activities associated with the many various Rotary Fellowships like the Rotary Friendship Exchange, first of which is departing on the 2nd of December to Abuja Nigeria. You will find that these activities enhance and enrich your Rotary experience. Your participation in these activities with like-minded Rotarians will be something you will always cherish and treasure.

MY ROTARY WEEK - RCT KAMPALA CITY & RC KAMPALA CENTRAL
Posted by Donnan Byabazaire on Nov 24, 2012
On Tuesday I visited the Rotaract. Club of Kampala City that hosted Journalist Timothy Kalyegira who shared with us the need for our being politically aware of what happens in our country. He regretted that the sheer ignorance of our political historical facts have caused us many a problems. He extracted a few statements on the apparent murders by PP Idi Amin that left quite a number of people with mouths open.
And last evening I visited the R.C Kampala Central where they recognised all men that had observed the Movember Month by not shaving their facial hairs in the month of November. Yours truly was duly reckoned for having followed up on the request.
We also had a simple but interesting in-house personal evaluation quiz that showed how much we either knew or did not know about Rotary.
Nice day. Donan

CELEBRATION OF 20 YEARS OF SERVICE – MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Nov 24, 2012
Rotary Club of Kampala South has come a long way since its inception. I am honoured to be the President at a time when the Club takes stock of the last twenty years and appreciates the achievements of the Past Presidents and the Members of the Club. RC Kampala South was chartered on 17th November, 1992 and our Charter Night celebration, by divine intervention, falls on our 20th birthday. What a blessing for this great Club.
The uniqueness of these celebrations is that it is spearheaded by our very own Past Presidents. Who better to organize the celebrations of our achievements than the very people who were part and parcel of these achievements?

CHARM IN ROTARY – PAUL ATWINE PRESIDENT PROVISIONAL ROTARACT CLUB OF KAMPALA SOUTH
Posted by Irene Namuli on Nov 16, 2012
“Charm is the quality in others that makes us more satisfied with ourselves”- Henri Frederic Amiel
In rotary, a membership is what forms the basis of a club. These members are all partners in service but one must not forget that this is also a cocktail of different personalities and temperaments brought together by the ideal of service. In execution of service, how well we interact with each other will determine the synergy of the club and how effectively we carry out our activities. As such it is during this interaction that we get to know each other’s interest, limits, what they can or cannot tolerate.
This then bids the question, as a club how best do we complement our self-image whilst coping with all our shortcomings? In other wards does our club have the “charm” that makes our members more satisfied with themselves?

2000/2001 ROTARY YEAR BY PP ZAINABU OPITO
Posted by Zainabu Opito on Nov 16, 2012
 I served as President in 2000/2001 and I remember that while it was a very hectic and challenging year, I enjoyed it thoroughly as we had quite a good number of very youthful members who have thankfully stuck it out with Rotary till now. Some of the highlights of my year as President were as follows:
• Kampala South changed its meeting time from 6.00 p.m. Mondays to lunch time -1.00 p.m. - 2.00 p.m. to accommodate the fact that most of our youthful members were in that phase of their lives where they wanted to attain their Masters Degrees... e.g. PHF Aggrey, PP Michael Ojok, Sam Mpawulo (where is he?) etc etc... We used to meet at the now Serena Hotel (in one of the pubs as recommended by PP Michael Ojok!)
Kampala South members agreed to take on the "SEND A COW PROJECT" by way of monitoring the projects in Lira and Mityana...(I hope I am right...amnesia at work!). Members were very active and we travelled to these areas quite a bit. It was great seeing women so excited about their future as a result.

On 17th October I had fellowship with the Rotary Club of Kiwatule. Their Vocational Award was to a Doctor from the Heart Institute the Vocational Award.
The Award went to Dr. John Omagino, Director, Uganda Heart Institute. He said that in Uganda Heart Related diseases have reached number 3 among the killer diseases and are expected to be number 1 killer in the next 3 years. We all fall in the target group for these diseases.
He gave us five sins that we commit that lead to these diseases. I can’t recall all but they include - Eating habits - too much cholesterol mostly found in junk food, red meat, bazungu chicken, unskimmed milk etc. He recommended that these should be taken in moderation. He also talked about lack of exercise / inactivity.

TODAY AT MEN-GO
Posted by Rita Tinka on Nov 16, 2012
PP Phillip Katamba, "Past Country Chair", chief eater at our 1st Kavinal, was the guest speaker Talking about The Rotary Foundation.
In simple terms, The Rotary Foundation was described as the "World Bank of Rotary". Interestingly RC Mengo shares a charter night with RC Muyenga, they are twins in that sense but RC Mengo is the Waswa (Waiswa, Isingoma) and therefore should benchmark on Kato Muyenga without shame in regard to TRF contribution.

LITERACY IMPROVED - THANK YOU RC KAMPALA
Posted by Wendy Kasujja on Nov 10, 2012
Literacy is one of the fundamental pillars in education. With that in mind, the Rotary Club of Kampala donated 1,739. Books to the Rotary Club of Kampala South to help improve literacy at Jjannyi primary School, one of the projects being implemented by the RC of Kampala South.
A delegation from RC Kampala, led by Rotarian Herbert Kakiiza, handed the books over the President of the RC Kampala South, during its fellowship of Monday 5th November 2012. RC of Kampala South has two projects (Jjanyi Primary School & God’s Grace Orphanage) that will benefit from the literacy books.
The RC of Kampala South would like to express its gratitude to the thoughtful gesture by the RC of Kampala. Together, we shall build the literacy pillar.

Contributions to the Rotary Foundation by Sam Owori
Posted by David Kahwa on Nov 10, 2012
Dear Friends,
I am back in town, but I bring you greetings from Evanston.
I wish to share with you the concern that bothers the Trustees of TRF. While PHF is becoming popular and rightly so, and the MD programme is also picking up, there are about 7000 clubs that do not contribute anything to TRF!! This is either ignorance or a matter of apathy, and it is sad.
Trustees feel, again quite rightly, that whereas EREY is not mandatory, any Rotarian deserving of that title, can afford USD100= a year or, just over USD8= per month.

Historic Moments: Women in Rotary

The 1989 Council on Legislation vote to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide remains a watershed moment in the history of Rotary.
"My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world," said Frank J. Devlyn, who would go on to become RI president in 2000-01.
The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to allow for the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meetings.
The response to the decision was overwhelming: By 1990, the number of female Rotarians had skyrocketed to over 20,000.
Women have served in leadership positions as high as the RI Board of Directors and The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees.

Africas Rotary Membership Campaign 1st Nove,ber to 31st January 2013 by DG Geeta
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Nov 10, 2012
Dear President,
I trust this email finds you well.
The Rotary International Board has a strategic desire to increase the membership in the African continent to 35,000 Rotarians in 2 years’ time to increase the focus and impact of Rotary within the community. Currently there are about 26,000 Rotarians in Africa. Our district is known to be a top performer in membership and is expected to play an important role in this goal.
District 9200 has the goal to increase membership by 1,100 in my year, 2012-13. To support this cause, a membership campaign will run in the district for 3 months starting on 1st November 2012 and ending on 31st January 2013. The main aim is to get Rotarians into the habit of inviting suitable people to join Rotary, and we intend for a lasting effect on each individual following the campaign.
Here’s how the district membership campaign will work.

RI President's Message for November 2012
Posted by David Kahwa on Nov 10, 2012
Dear fellow Rotarians,
There are many ways to describe our Rotary Foundation. But I think of our Foundation literally – as the foundation for all of Rotary.
We do not often think about the ground beneath our feet. We do not often think about the walls that are holding up our house. We take them for granted. We think about them only when they are not there.
Not long ago in Japan, the ground fell out from under our feet. On Friday, 11 March 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake shook Japan to its very core. More than 15,000 people died, nearly 6,000 were injured, and another 4,000 are still missing. The total losses of the disaster are estimated at over US$300 billion.

My Rotary Week
Posted by David Tabaro on Nov 10, 2012
On Wednesday I had lunch break at RC Kampala West. They had Ruth from Micro Finance Support Center talking about the center and how SMEs can benefit from the Center. She also encouraged groups of people to get together and form SACCOs to able to benefit from the center's low interest rates. - Do I see a RC Kampala South SACCO / Rotary SACCO in the offing?
I was unable to sale a card. It Members were busy with cutlery!! I Saw David.K (Snr) have Lunch and enjoy fellowship; Ritah and Angella were in attendance.
Having not made any sales on Tuesday and Wednesday, i thought i would be successful on Thursday at RC Kampala Ssese. I joined Angella (I don't know who is following who). They had PDG Steven giving an update on the Cancer wing. He said we shall complete the building 1 year ahead of schedule. He commended all for good returns from the cancer run and that corporate had given generously. He said that the vision is now to ensure the wing is equipped; with personnel and turned into a center (for referrals) and have branches at regional level. You are all invited to prepare for 2013 Cancer Run in August that year - Train now!!

1999/2000 Rotary Year by PP Oscar Kihika
Posted by Oscar Kihika on Nov 03, 2012
The theme for the year was Act with Consistency, Credibility, Continuity. The Rotary Club of Kampala South and the Rotary Movement as a whole was in the last year of the millennium. I took over the reins of President from Joseph Baroraho, and in keeping with the theme of the year, the Rotary Club of Kampala South sought to continue the now popular innovations in raising funds to finance its projects. To that end we consolidated the Sports Gala which become a high light of the Rotary Calendar Year.

History of The Rotary Foundation
Posted by David Kahwa on Nov 03, 2012
I n 1917, RI President Arch C. Klumph proposed that an endowment be set up “for the purpose of doing good in the world.” In 1928, when the endowment fund had grown to more than US$5,000, it was renamed The Rotary Foundation, and it became a distinct entity within Rotary International.
Five Trustees, including Klumph, were appointed to “hold, invest, manage, and administer all of its property . . . as a single trust, for the furtherance of the purposes of RI.”
Two years later, the Foundation made its first grant of $500 to the International Society for Crippled Children. The organization, created by Rotarian Edgar F. “Daddy” Allen, later grew into the Easter Seals.
The Great Depression and World War II both impeded the Foundation’s growth, but the need for lasting world peace generated great postwar interest in its development. After Rotary’s founder, Paul P. Harris, died in 1947, contributions began pouring into Rotary International, and the Paul Harris Memorial Fund was created to build the Foundation.

It was a Great Vocational Tour and Hospitality
Posted by Esther Mwambu on Nov 03, 2012
RC Kampala South had a vocational tour and hospitality at the project of one of its very own, PP Joseph Baroraro. The messages in the Kla South gropu mail say it all.
Thanks Joseph for the Vocational tour and great hospitality yesterday. The house-plans are great, good workmanship and I loved the kitchen space & storage facilities plus the double jacuzzi in the master-bedroom, hmmm...! Onto the hospitality, nice food and endless drinks that I can bet made people unable to balance on one foot if asked! Thanks again, Wendy.
PP Joseph, thank you for hosting us, it was a great building and meat lesson for me and I believe for others too. Cheers Antony
True dat! Thanks Joseph for hosting us. It was interesting to note that your houses are on 13 dec. Interesting use of space! I hope you can talk to us at fellowship about what it takes to construct such structures because we were lost in music, food, "Mineral water called JW" and of course our rotaractors.... Hmmmmmm Lovely evening. Thanks. PK

The Low Down - Richard Mayebo
Posted by Irene Namuli on Nov 03, 2012
This week we bring you the man even Badang(the tallest man in singapore )would be jealous of. So come climb a ladder with me and lets get to face to face with Richard Mayebo
ED: WHO IS ROTARIAN RICHARD?
RM: I was inducted to the Rotary Club of Kampala. South in 1996 (yes, that many years ago!) . My classification is “information services” – I have worked in IT since even before I left school. I was invited by my friends Rotarian Michael Ojok, and former Rotarian Sam Mpawulo. On joining the club I met many members whom I had met before – like Oscar, Ebert, Joseph and many others, so I felt quite comfortable from the start. This year I am on the Service Projects committee which is ably headed Rtn. Wendy.
ED: AND ARE YOU OUTSIDE ROTARY?
RM: Iam a husband to one wife and we have three daughters, two of whom are in their teens now. It is fascinating watching them as they grow and define their personalities, and I encourage them to talk to me as freely as possible. I wonder sometimes if I am not an overly-indulgent dad.
Outside work, family and Rotary, I occasionally enjoy a drink and Premiership football with friends at Shell Club, although not as often as I used to. Some have said this is because of the tribulations suffered by Arsenal fans in the last nearly ten years! There may be some truth in that.

RC Sunrise Vocational Award to Jennifer Musisi
Posted by David Tabaro on Oct 30, 2012
This morning, the only Davids in the club visited Sunrise to witness recognize Jennifer Semakula Musisi (KCCA ED) as the recipient for this year's Vocational Service Award.
In her remarks, she mentioned her names and said her classification is Kampala re-organization! She appreciated the award and said it goes to the entire team she works with. She however implored all of us to begin with beautification of our homes & residences (If the landlords can allow - at no cost to the tenants) but also be good advocates of the campaign she is leading - keep the city clean/green. Avoid throwing around bottles, silver packs, etc as you drive along the city roads and also discourage others from doing so.

Profile of Vocational Awardee - RC Kampala South
Posted by Esther Mwambu on Oct 26, 2012
Maria Kiwumulo is 35 years old and the lead caretaker at God’s Grace Orphanage in Kyebando which she founded three years ago. It is registered as a Community based organisation under KCCA.
On the exterior, her frame seems small and delicate but she is actually a very strong woman who has withstood tough conditions to get to where she is now.
Her father denied her before she was born and her mother wanted nothing to do with her as a child. She ended up being raised by her grandmother. Later on, she lived with an uncle, Kimera who ensured that she gets an education. However, this only continued until in Senior Two.
When she dropped out of school, she began to experience a series of difficult situations. Kiwumulo slept on the streets a couple of times and worked as a house help briefly. At one point it was at her mother’s house that she executed these chores. Her role was to look after her siblings, fathered by another man. They studied, while she was forced to stay at home.

The Low Down - Parity Twinomujuni
Posted by Irene Namuli on Oct 26, 2012
This week we bring you another distinguished member of the Rotary Club of Kampala South. It is our turn to "audit" the charismatic & charming Parity Twinomujuni.
ED: WHO IS ROTARIAN PARITY?
PT: I joined Rotary in July 2002. In Rotary, I have served as a Treasurer, Vice President, President Elect and President, Director Vocational, of the Finance Committee, on Community Service etc. Beyond the Club I serve on the Rotary Cancer Project as a Treasurer. My Classification is Internal Auditing Services. I have been Internal Auditing for the last 20 years. I am currently the Chief Internal Auditor of NHCC. I was recently appointed to the University Council of UCU.
ED: OUTSIDE ROTARY?
PT: Outside Rotary I have many lives. I still have one wife and 4 children. I tend to have so many friends for different purposes. My friends are profiled and in all cases they must be value adding friends. I have friends that are relatives (and I have no option but to befriend them), rotary friends, professional friends, religious friends, business friends, Gymn friends, International friends, married friends, children etc and of recent friends on facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc. I have different approaches to each category of friends. When I hang out with any of these categories, I always evaluate what value I have added by hanging out with them. I tend to befriend positive thinking people and will usually avoid company with friends that tend to be negative.

This Week in History
Posted by Antony Mwandha on Oct 13, 2012
PP Antony digs through the Kampala South Group Mail and brings to us some highlights this week in history
2009
President Mwandha commended RtnsLilian B and Patrick Lassu on creating a project monitoring and Supervision tool
Thanks Lillian and Patrick, I like this idea and I propose that we present it as part of rotary information, and perhaps the board should consider adopting it as the best way to handle and supervise projects.
Instead of one of the committee member running around to manage a project on our collective behalf, the buddy group manages the project! simple and fun. I wish we could be very un-kla-sth like and read these important emails.

Visit to RC Kiwatule
Posted by Esther Mwambu on Oct 13, 2012
 I visited RC Kiwatule on Wednesday evening and we had the proprietor of Banana Village, Mr Ssemgadde. He gave us tips on how to become successful business people illustrating with the simple theory of the “funnel” that has worked for most Indians. That money should enter at the wider end of the funnel and filter through the narrower end i.e. invest more and spend less. The most important message was to invest continuously and ensure that your old age is secure with sufficient funds, especially to meet the increasing hospital bills as you grow older. Together with Rtns Angela and Irene we ensured that RC Kampala South was declared club of the week!

The Low Down - Rita Tinka
Posted by Irene Namuli on Oct 13, 2012
The Editorial Team of the Kampala South Rotary Times this time brings to you Rita who, they think, is most fascinating person this week.
ED. WHO IS ROTARIAN RITA?
RT: Rtn Rita is as simple as her name, The Pearl, literally meaning precious. Check out Matthew 13: 45–46. Hahaha. Yeah I know you are laughing but yes that is me and I am God fearing too, it keeps me in check. Some people say I am stubborn but I am as humble as they get. I suffer though from speaking my mind which doesn’t always go down well with most people because the truth is a really bitter pill to swallow most time.
I joined the Rotary family as an interactor inspired by the late Rtn Martin Kiyaga, whose blood had the colour of Rotary, may he RIP. Inspired by one among the best it is not surprising that I ended up as a Rotaractor then Rotarian. I can go on about my rotary experience and all but that could take your entire booklet.
I served on several committees in my rotary life but notably, President of Rct Ntinda and as District Public Relations officer during Hudson Mutalya's year as DRR (District Rotaract Representative). A great year it was. I have no doubt that if I had stayed in Rotaract I would have gone on to be a DRR ....yes you can raise your eyebrow but that is where I was headed but it was also time for me to step aside for younger ones.

Rotary Mottoes
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Oct 13, 2012
The first motto of Rotary International, "He Profits Most Who Serves Best," was approved at the second Rotary Convention, held in Portland, Oregon, in August 1911. The phrase was first stated by a Chicago Rotarian, Art Sheldon, who made a speech in 1910 that included the remark, "He profits most who serves his fellows best."
At about the same time, Ben Collins, president of the Rotary Club of Minneapolis, Minnesota, commented that the proper way to organize a Rotary club was through the principle his club had adopted - "Service, Not Self."
These two slogans, slightly modified, were formally approved to be the official mottoes of Rotary at the 1950 Convention in Detroit - "He Profits Most Who Serves Best" and "Service Above Self."
The 1989 Council on Legislation established "Service Above Self" as the principal motto of Rotary, since it best explains the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service.

The Watered Mustard Seed at Jjanyi Primary School
Posted by Wendy Kasujja on Oct 08, 2012
On Saturday 29th September 2012, Phase 3 on Construction works at Jjanyi Primary School was launched. Members of the Rotary Club of Kampala South were joined by members from other Rotary clubs, our babies – Provisional Rotaract Club of Kampala South, guests and friends.
As our bodies shone with sweat from all the hard-work, the beautiful melodies produced by the pupils cheered us on and helped bear the unforgiving heat of the cloudless morning. The sumptuous ‘Katogo’ as promised, was indeed mouth-watering, washed down by the happy-making drinks and made even better by the music, rare dancing strokes and warm fellowship.

Vocational Month
Posted by Parity Twinomujuni on Oct 08, 2012
October is Rotary International’s Vocational Month. Vocational Service is one of Rotary’s Avenues of Service, which encourages Rotarians to serve others through their professions and to practice high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations and inspire others in the process
At Kampala South, celebration of our Vocations has been done throughout the year through classification defences, vocational awareness through speaker invitations and Rotarians commitment to the 4-way Test.
The Month of October will see us recognise an individual that has selflessly used her vocation to touch lives of the underprivileged in our society, a vocational visit to a real estate vocation and hosting of Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar, Brittany Bennet from Virginia.

DG's Message for October 2012
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Oct 08, 2012
What a pleasure it is to talk about Rotary's second Avenue of Service: Vocational Service – for this month in October!
Simply put, where would I be today if my Charter President Salim Manji had not asked me to become a Rotarian?
Would I have the friends I have today? Would I be a part of the greatest group of individuals I have ever had the opportunity to work with? Would I have access to individuals that share the passion for helping humanity through local and worldwide community service? Would I realize the full value of true, ethical practices and standards in my business and personal life? Would I be who I am today without Rotary? I could go on and on, but so could each and every one of us and the obvious answer to all of the above is "NO."

An Old Email to Kla South from PDG Colin James (RIP)
Posted by Antony Mwandha on Oct 08, 2012
Hi Richard,
I have spoken to Hugh and John from Bala and I
understand that whilst they are travelling out to Kampala the day after me
(their flight 22 October), they are only in Kampala for a few days before they
leave (Tuesday ?) on a safari tour. Their project visit in on the Saturday when
I am a guest at a wedding and I do not want to interfere / disrupt their plans
by you trying to rearrange a mutual visit due to their very short stay - their
visit is priority. I hear from John that they are planning to meet at your
Rotary Club on the Monday evening and it may be that I could also come along to
meet with Kampala South members and with my friends from Bala.

RIP Observtation as Rotary Foundation Trustee
Posted by Antony Mwandha on Oct 08, 2012
As Rotary Foundation Trustee Sakuji Tanaka once observed; “The purpose of human life is to be useful to others and society”. The fact that we human beings are able to continue living in societies that developed over the centuries is because of the efforts of our ancestors, parents, families, communities, countries, and people around the world. It is therefore our duty to recognize and appreciate the benefits that we have received from our forebears, to persist in practicing the spirit of the utmost sincerity, and to repay society wholeheartedly. Only with these attitudes can we build better societies for generations that will follow us. As Rotarians we are fortunate. We are in the position to lead the way in practicing the idea of vocational service that is unique to Rotary.

This Week in History
Posted by Antony Mwandha on Oct 08, 2012
PP Antony looks through the Kla South group email and brings to us the interesting snippets of conversation this week in history.
2008
October 9, 2008 Bar hostility at Comfort Inn
Dear all, I managed to find time to get my wide hips and big butt out of office. I have managed to put together prices for basically all items. Please see attached for your review and comments. You will notice that the drinks are on bar prices for since we are not paying for the venue we will buy drinks from the bar + we do not want to get involved in running around a lot.
The budget comes to about Shs 1,500,000.
Note: Phyllis - please go ahead with some of your items' prices for I didn't get very satisfactory indicators.

Through The Times - Vocational Service By PP Paul Muwanga PHF
Posted by Paul Muwanga on Sep 28, 2012
  Rotary clubs run their activities through the various avenues of service and one of them is Vocational Service. It is the second avenue of service and it is what makes Rotarians who we are – we join the club based on our vocation.
Rotary International encourages Rotarians to emphasise Vocational Service during the month of October and many clubs have such activities during this month. One thing I have noted over time is that clubs tend to concentrate on vocational awards. Not surprisingly therefore, some clubs have gone on to award the same person (not necessarily in the same year) and this has led to the recipients choosing which club(s) to accept the award(s) from.
I remember one time in the club where we made a decision to award a long serving member of the community and he did not turn up. We went ahead to arrange an appointment in his office to carry out this simple ritual only to be told by the Secretary that he was busy but can leave our “message” with her.

Life and times of Paul Harris
One day in the fall of 1900, Paul P. Harris met attorney Bob Frank for dinner in a well-off neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago. They took a walk around the area and stopped at shops along the way. Harris was impressed by how Frank had made friends with many of the shopkeepers. Since moving to Chicago to set up his law practice, Harris had not encountered the kind of camaraderie that Frank enjoyed with his fellow businessmen. He wondered whether there was a way to channel and expand this type of fellowship, which reminded him of the New England town where he'd grown up.

Trauma or Reform? Commissioner Byabashaija Tells all at RC Kampala Arch!!
Posted by Angela Kalule on Sep 28, 2012
 Last Thursday, I was at Rotary Club of Kampala and the speech by Rtn Dr. Johnson Byabashaija, the Commissioner of Prisons was one that left you either touched, reformed or in my case very traumatized!!
He explained the various forms of punishment that inmates are given. He started off with the most common, the DEATH PENALTY!! He says this the process begins when an inmate has exhausted all their rights of appeal and have been found guilty in every court. The minister of Justice then endorses the Warrant of Execution and sends it to the President for further endorsement and sealing. At this point, the decision has become final!! No more pardon!! The warrant is then sent by courier services with escorts to the Commissioner of Prisons who receives it, registers in his journal and sends it again by courier to Maximum Prisons ward Officer for action. It’s that confidential!!

New Generations at Rotary Club of Kololo
Posted by Aggrey Kankunda on Sep 26, 2012
I attended the mega New Generations fellowship hosted by the Rotary Club of Kololo last evening (25 September 2012) at Hotel Africana. The fellowship was co-chaired by presidents of Rotaract Clubs of Kololo, Kampala City, Ssese, Mengo, IHSU and Ntinda. There were 18 Rotary and 19 Rotaract Clubs in attendance and Kagera Hall was full to capacity.
There were four highlights
1. Talk by Rtn Marion Natukunda on why Rotaractors take long to transition to Rotary. This generated heated debate especially from the Rotaractors some blaming Rotarians about our aloofness, Rotarians not visiting their ‘baby’ clubs, some Rotarians not knowing even where the clubs they sponsor meet, Rotarians treating Rotaract clubs as money sapping projects etc.

The good fight at the Rotaractors Annual Bowling Challenge
Posted by Irene Namuli on Sep 24, 2012
We Fought a good fight at the 5 th Rotaract Bowling challenge - 2012
In Eamon Dunphy's wonderful book 'Only a Game?' he narrates, in semi-diary style, the events of a season in the old English Second Division, warts and all. It's a carbuncular book. It was the first of its kind, but it remains the best, and it spawned a whole genre of inferior imitators. I digress !
Playing team sport is both wonderful and painful. It's wonderful because of the companionship it provides, and the occasional moments of euphoria it yields, but it's painful in the constant pressure it exerts, and the fear of failure it induces.
That’s what transpired on Saturday at the 5 th Rotaract Bowling challenge at Alligators’, bowling being a team sport i envisaged that my team members would live to the word of TEAM and its meaning. Had it not been poor time keeping by the organisers, i would be berating my team members, and as such that will be for another day i guess ..

Through The Times ..... Attendance By PP Paul Muwanga PHF
Posted by Paul Muwanga on Sep 21, 2012
Attendance has been a long time challenge within the Rotary movement. This should not be very surprising given that Rotarians have vocations and are in the majority of cases volunteering their free time to Rotary activities. Clubs have therefore been coming up with ways of encouraging attendance both during fellowship and community activities.
There is this old saying that the way to a man’s heart is through the stomach. I have witnessed this work for a long time in Rotary. It is interesting to note that in many instances the attracting feature has been and continues to be something to do with the stomach.
I will start with our own club, way back in 1995/6 when there was a monthly immunisation programme at Lweza, just near our new Interact Club of Sisto Mazzoldi. The announcements were always along the lines of reminding members about the date of immunisation, that some drinks will be available on the day and thereafter a treat to the national animal at Yakobo’s. Such an announcement would increase attendance from 2 or 3 to over 30.javascript:;

Posted by Wendy Kasujja on Sep 21, 2012
The year was 2001, when members of the Rotary Club of Kampala South planted a mustard seed at Jjanyi Primary School. The seed was in the form of providing a better learning environment to the pupils in the Jjanyi community, Kajjansi along Entebbe Road.
During Phase 1 of work, a foundation was laid for a seven classroom block and library. This phase saw the completion & furniture provision of 4 classrooms, sanitation facilities and rain-harvesting equipment.

Polio: Why It Matters, and why Clubs Continue Contributing to its Eradication
Posted by David Kahwa on Sep 21, 2012
Every child deserves the right to walk, run, and play without fear of paralysis. However, Polio is a disease that still robs children of that right in some parts of the world. Polio is a highly infectious disease and as long as it threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere are at risk. Only the complete eradication of polio will ensure that no child ever again suffers polio’s cruel effects. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in partnership with Rotary International, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, plus the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is committed to achieving a polio-free world. With combined effort, more than seven million people, mainly in the developing world, who would otherwise have been paralyzed, are walking because they have been immunized against polio, and more than 500,000 cases of polio are prevented each year. Transmission of the poliovirus has been stopped in all but three countries – Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

A Letter to Young Africans By Brad Rulinda Charter Member Prov. Rtc Kampala South
Posted by Patrick Lassu on Sep 21, 2012
Young Africans.
I hope you are fine this sunny morning, I woke up and the sun was so bright and seemed angry with the people it had to shine for. I am writing to you to let off my chest what I have observed and what is really saddening. Just sit down and read my letter much as you may not like what I have to say. I was walking around and started to wonder What happened to the African man that believed in developing his nation? What happened to the likes of Kwame Nkrumahs, Jomo Kenyattas, Nnambi Azikiwe, Nelson Mandelas and Ben Kiwanukas of Africa? Is this what they had in mind when they fought for us? Is this the generation they were hoping to see take over their hard work? Less and less of us want to be part of the constructive part of Africa, but a vast majority of us will gladly join in as we destroy the progress that has come to pass.
Think about it the vast majority of us will join in to create commotion and vandalize our own nations. We are a generation of opportunists and scavengers like hyenas and vultures we are afraid to hunt our own food but opt to wait and eat the crap left by others. We have forgotten the value of hard work and the pride of the African man. All over the world the African man is associated with conning people and laziness....hmm that is Not the image of the African man our fore fathers had painted. They were hardworking, they were articulate, they were proud, they were developmental, innovative and most of all they were PATRIOTIC.

For years, Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self has been channeled through the Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of club activity. To get started on a project, think broadly about how your club and its members could contribute within each avenue.

DG Message for September 2012
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Sep 12, 2012
Glancing over the past two months, there is so much that I am thankful for. First of all, hosting the RI president for 10 days in our District was such a distinctive honour. I was most humbled by the tireless effort of the Country Officers and Clubs in meticulously planning and organising for the tour .Thank you very much; you have all made our District both very proud and more visible on the map of Rotary.
Secondly, I have so far had two months in office and what words can I use to describe the experience? Exhilarating? Thrilling? Humbling? I really do not have appropriate words to describe the warmth and overwhelming generosity with which I have been received on all my club visits. I have been filled with so much joy and pride as I have witnessed what clubs are doing in the communities and in the district. I am both deeply honoured and humbled to serve as your Governor.

Posted by David Kahwa on Sep 12, 2012
 Dear fellow Rotarians,
Many of you know that we now have five Avenues of Service in Rotary. The fifth, and newest, is New Generations Service. There are many ways to serve through this avenue, and you will read about some of them in this month's issue.
All of the work we do to educate children, to improve maternal health, to help families live healthier lives – all of this is service to New Generations. We also serve New Generations by working to eradicate polio, helping to ensure that future generations of children will be born into a polio-free world.

Kampala South Thru the Times by 4Ps
Posted by Paul Muwanga on Sep 10, 2012
It was nice to be with PP Oscar Kihika in fellowship after a while and what he mentioned made me remember a lot of things and personalities that have shaped The Rotary Club of Kampala South. No doubt that PP Sanjiv Patel was the biggest contributor as stated by PP Oscar.
The club has been through a lot of ideas, some worked while others did not. To start it all off, it was initially the members who would contribute money from their own pockets to raise funds for a particular activity. PP Sanjiv, and I think this has got to do with the blood in him, did not support the idea and was bold enough to mention that members did not have to do it that way.

Community vs institution based rotaract clubs
Posted by Esther Mwambu on Sep 10, 2012
Last week, in the true spirit of making the most of new generations month, I visited the Rct Club of IHSU (International Health Sciences University) on Tuesday at 6.00 p.m. Though late (thanks to the terrible traffic jam) I was just on time for the final toast. I was also able to witness the exchange of banners with the guest speaker, a retractor from the USA.
Not much to report; blame it one the dismal attendance at fellowship by mainly club members from IHSU, PP David and myself as the only rotarians. The hurry President Sharon and the guest speaker were in to attend fellowship at Kiwatule with DG Geeta, did not make matters any better as there wasn't after fellowship either to spice up the fellowship.

Parenting Tips at RC Kajjansi Fellowship
Posted by Jane Bitek Langoya on Sep 06, 2012
My visit to Kajjansi RC this Wednesday was quite fulfilling. The comment from our Babies was that the members of their mother Club, RC Kampala South, visit more frequently these days and they do feel the parental love. The fellowship was on parenting tips, so you can imagine the pride and joy at the above comment.
The Guest Speaker, Mrs Mary Asiimwe Butamanya, is the Vice President, Uganda Counseling Services and specializes in counseling married couples, teenagers and adolescents. She gave various tips on parenting.

Interact President’s Report End of 2nd Term 2012
First of all I would like to thank all the Interact members of Bishop Mazzoldi SSS for the partnership and friendship that we shared during the year. I would also like to thank the Members that participated in the Interact Club projects during the term. During the term we carried out projects as follows:
a. Blood Donation Project]
The Provisional Interact Club of Bishop Sisto Mazzoldi SSS carried out a blood donation drive on 8th July 2012 at Lweza playground. The lack of blood in hospitals is a common problem so the Club decided to carry out a blood donation project during the second term of school. Discussions were held with Uganda Blood Transfusions Services - Nakasero blood bank, the School Administration and Rotary Club of Kampala South who all agreed this was a noble project and came on board.
The blood donation project was carried out in conjunction with the Nakasero Blood Bank and supported by mother club RC Kampala South. RC Kampala South sponsored eight radio announcements within the vicinity of the local community and was represented and supported the function on the day. The Project led to the collection of a total of 54 units of blood, 22 from students and members of the school and 32 from the local community.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A PAST WARRIOR
Posted by Irene Namuli on Aug 20, 2012
Robo relates his escapades at the Rotaract club of Kololo...
Friday 17th 2012, accorded me an oppourtunity to visit my Rotary alma mater - the Rotaract club of kololo, specifically to get abreast of the happenings at theclub.
Suffice it to say, i was there 9yrs as a member,and since joining the rotary ranks i had absconded from the club albeit for unknown reasons - im befounded myself.
That said i thought it was time to renew my allegiance and most importantly give back some time wishing thats all i owe them.

After a thoughtful and planned week for fellowship and after shunning Jenny's unexciting schedule for me, I decided to kick off my ambassadorial errands with a visit to RC of Kololo at Hotel Africana, on Tuesday at 6.00 p.m. Together with President Jane and Jenny we represented the club at a fellowship graced by the presence of DG Geeta and which as expected was a club assembly.

District Governor's message for August 2012
Posted by Peter Mukuru on Aug 02, 2012
My dear Rotarians,
one of Rotary's greatest assets lies in our passionate, vibrant, and connected community, as it is this that allows us to see, hear and react to communities around the world as we strive to achieve 'Peace through Service'. To be a member of Rotary is to realize the power of one combined with the power of many because we are not Rotarians alone but part of a phenomenal organization with presence and visibility around the world.

Fellowship at Kampala Central
Posted by Aggrey Kankunda on Aug 01, 2012
Colleagues, Noah and I visited the RC Kampala Central fellowship on Augsut 1, 2012. The club hosted IPCC Margaret Mungherera who gave a very good talk about membership. She emphasized the elements of a good Rotarian. She also asserted that clubs shouldn’t invest a lot of energy in trying to ‘resuscitate’ Rotarians who have chosen to leave the club but rather focus on retention and recruitment (with proper mentorship programs).

President Byekwaso of Rotary Club of Kiwatule did not mince words on July 11, 2012, when introducing the club’s theme for the year 2012/13 - " Love, Friendship and Peace through Service".

We cheated the rain, the traffic jam spread before us. The day had been full of cheerful but cautious banter, the email lines almost burnt for excessive friction.
Monday July 2, 2012 was like no other rotary day. The dawn of another administration. The tension was palpable, the president wanted to put all in order calling at everyone in sight.

Posted by Antony Mwandha on Jul 02, 2012
Our venerable District Governor has chosen a most right and fitting slogan to her year; Peace Through Rotary.
Uganda has many examples of troubled existence, mostly because of poor communication. Whereas lack of peace may not mean war perse, good communication reduces the motive for war.

Hope, Continuity and Transition
My dear family of Rotary,
I was recently invited to speak in a Rotary event by one of the Presidents and when I asked what I should speak on, she did not hesitate to give it to me straight- Hope, Continuity and Transition! I decided this will be the theme of my final message to Rotarians. I believe this would be an apt message to close the year.

Immunisation at Sekiwungu, Kitende in July
Posted by Esther Mwambu
Mathias and I were at Sekiwungu on Saturday, 20th July, with baby club - Rct Kampala South. Over 40 infants were immunised and about 70 children and a few adults dewormed. The activity is evidently getting popular with the residents of Sekiwungu Village with each visit because it has saved them the cost and time spent trekking all the way to Kajjansi Health Centre (the nearest government health centre) for the same services. Most of the beneficiaries are poor, single mothers whose livelihood is majorly subsistence agriculture.
The next immunisation will take place on Saturday, 17th August. We need to give our babies more support.

The Tourism bonanza, Robo's reflections; Kampala South August 27, 2012
Posted by Antony Mwandha
Throughout much of human history and in many religious belief systems, we have been taught that "Don’t judge a book by its cover" right?
All too often, we apply this lesson solely on a personal level—very rarely is such a positive and beneficial mentality applied in dealing with others unknown to you or your grouping, such as those of different religions, ethnicities, genders, nationalities, even physical outlook .
To test this lesson, waltz in the fellowship of Monday 27 August 2012, at Hotel Africana, 6:00pm.
Ensconced on the back row with Antony was this unassuming gentleman clad in Khaki tour trousers and a flowery shirt and great tour boots – ‘must have been CAT or camel, if you ask me’, whom i was introduced to as Amos Wekesa - WHO?, we exchanged pleasantries as we waited for President Jane to call fellowship to order, he was a jolly fellow and most of all i enjoyed his humor and actually his graying beard was fascinating too, little did i know that he would be the Guest speaker of the day.
