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?

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.

FRIENDS OF KAMPALA SOUTH

PE Prossy Namatovu Lukwago from Rotary Rubaga Lakeview says she got to know about Rotary Kampala South through Charles Odaga, Dr. Kalungi and other Rotarians, when they worked together during Rotary Cancer Run19. “RC Kampala South fellowships are educative, fun and members/ guests are engaging.” said PE Prossy after she was asked for her opinion about the Rotary meetings of Kampala South.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

A statement from Senga Mariam on Money and Intimacy in relationships;

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.

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. For pictures on this event, please follow the link

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

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........

The Independence Boat Cruise that was - Thank You

Posted by Charles Odaga on Oct 14, 2016

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!

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.

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.
