I gave you a foot, now you want my whole leg

What do you do when life gets too hard for you? Shed tears, or is that too hard for you? Am just a man - reflection of my family meaning you don't have one to understand me. I have family and friend, the only difference between me and you is that i don't care about a lot of things. I care about those who are dying and they needed someone, i care about the children in the streets - they have dreams. Finally we have a young president, look at what they treat him. kids are starving in Africa, why do "parents" have them. What happened to my favorite musician? I miss it, you too. I guess we feel like Micheal Jackson.

The living, the dead, these times i live in, my life, at times its Ger, others Felix, adjacent to myself, they ain't chasing the same thing so i let all of my pain be painless. They say the end of the world is coming and i know its here because pastors are loosing their minds, the rich are richer and not caring for the poor, the poor are so poor that they forget God and am in the middle - not rich and not poor but am torn apart running away from one world seeking the other. If that does not wake you up, i hope tomorrow morning will.

I never thought I'd see the day when i would have people coming up to me about the things i think and write about. Felix why do you think like that? i tell them what i can, shake another hand and move along its cool, i love you too. I never did nothing but try to get better and believe in God and my mom, maybe i can never be accepted the way that i am - i mean i knew that it would be hard but really? come on now!

I hate running all through the tree, thought they be rooting for me, lies stacking, the truth is gorey forever holding on the grudges from my early struggles. They see you go out and get it then want it from you, Say you'll never be a winner, show up at your parade showing you smiles, inside hoping it fades but it changes, this love is dangerous fogging up my aim now am loosing focus!

Transforming a Neighborhood into a Brotherhood

By
My brothers and sisters, we are only beginning. We still have a long long way to go and I would like to share with you the burden on my heart about the problems that still confront us. If I would use a subject for what I am talking about, I would call it; Transforming a neighborhood into a brotherhood . I want to try and tell you the truth; i want to speak honestly and frankly about many problems that we face in our nation and this world. I believe that freedom is the bonus we receive for telling the truth and as Jesus said, “ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set ye free”. Transforming a neighborhood into a brotherhood. Now there can be no gainsaying of the fact that Uganda has brought its people – downtrodden and rich alike - to an all inspiring threshold of the future. We have built gigantic buildings to kiss the skies, we have placed time in chains and we have curved highways midair. This is what our nation has done. What I want to say to you my friends is that when

What is a Significant Success Story?

By
A success story shows an organization or individual making a difference in people’s lives. It describes a positive change and shows how that change benefits the people of a given area of intervention. A great success story applies the use of evidence to show the value of our interventions in terms measurable changes in knowledge, skills, motivation, behavior, decision making, practices, policies, social action, social, economic and environmental conditions that derive from a cause-and-effect relationship. You can write a success story about an entire project, program or part of a program (i.e. activity) that is particularly noteworthy and significant in terms of results and its impacts. It may be about an innovation, emergency response or outstanding effort. Whatever you choose to write about, your story should show your intervention making a difference in targeted areas. Why is it important  for an Organization, Group or Individual to write success stories?  • To show a

A Motivated Team: Are you Maslow or Machiavelli?

By
Managers and organizations have diverse philosophies about how to motivate employees and manage teams. Some seek to create cooperation and loyalty. Others rely more on the competitive spirit to get things done. And the truth is different approaches can work, but it’s important to understand what kind of work environment you’re creating with your approach. So the question is: Are you more Maslow or Machiavelli. These two paradigms are familiar to many, but they represent extremely different ways of managing people. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs tells us that people have certain requirements that have to be met before they can be truly fulfilled. In the workplace, this theory demands attending to the needs of each employee. Making enough money to live, job security, belonging to a team, excelling at a job, and doing meaningful work are all motivating factors. The idea is that if employees are happy at work, they’ll be more creative and produce more. The Machiavellian style is very diffe

What have we learnt from a 15,000 Euro Youth project support by the International Secretariat?

By
Since joining Busiki LRP, I have heard the Youth being christened all sorts of names. The one I hear most is, “the youth are the most disoriented and most tasking lot to work with”. Well, the Youth themselves vehemently disagree and usually give truck-loads of reasons for this, in their defense. There’s an adage that says, “ Never judge a book by its cover” . Young people who are jobless, sidelined, have no opportunities, are not integrated into community issues fully and have no foundational skills are a liability and a high risk to a Country. Any Country! Whilst still working on its baby steps in relation to Youth, Busiki LRP received 15,000 Euros to implement a Youth Project that focused on supported Youth to develop skills for economic self-reliance beyond formal employment. Not only empower and strategically anchor them for leadership, communication and most importantly, constitutionalism as well as outlets to identify and nurture their talents. Programmatic interventions

Theater for Development: A fresh shift from the never ending awareness & sensitization “trainings”!

By

It’s an excessively hot and dusty mid Monday morning in Namutumba District – Busiki LRP as we prepare to head off to Ivukula Sub County, one of two others within Namutumba District, in the Eastern side of Uganda. Not much comes to mind during the drive as we head to Rwatama Village not knowing that the adage “Never judge a book by its Cover” is a realization that would soon come to full sight. Community engagements are not tasks for the faint hearted. The results are not immediately realized and getting the communities to open up is an even higher huddle to overcome. As I would soon find out, this is set to change thanks to a shift from typical trainings in the village to congregational laughter, music, dance and subsequently learnings by the young and old alike! Theatre for Development (TFD) is a great vehicle of engagement in demystifying and addressing societal ills. The groups’ present plays that depict the exact house hold scenarios in most of Ugandan communities. The sce
