Dear Natasha,
God knows we love you and we hold nothing against you. But don't you think the summon today is asking too much from some souls of our people. Especially with the current political and economic situation.
Natasha how does a Ugandan find testimonies to share
When what is supposed to be testimony is simply gratitude for temporary relief they survived today but their heart trembles with the fear of tomorrow's uncertainty.
When you pray for a miracle, many are only praying that the fears they carry into the nigh ,that of death, hunger, loss, or pain do not come to pass.
When you pray for your daily bread others pray for daily breath
It must be really hard for God to decide while you pray for Peace, others cry in prayer for justice and the pain of those close to you is the only way to balance the scales of heaven for the tears many go to bed with caused by your loved ones.
You speak of the kind of faith that tells us to take our eyes off the waves and fix them on Jesus, the faith that made Peter step onto the water.
Perhaps we are all standing on water.
But surely you are not standing where the waves are tallest, where every swell threatens to pull another soul beneath.
You ask us to believe like Peter,
to step upon the waters.
But we have been drowning for so long,
even the waves have learned our names we only crave for the hard wave that might come with summons of hope.
Like all previlaged preachers, you ask us to count our blessings,
while mothers count empty plates,
graduates count unanswered applications,
patients count borrowed pills,
and fathers count the days until another debt comes knocking.
So Darling Natasha,
No one resents your faith.
In truth,
many of us envy it.
But faith is hardest to preach to a people still carrying crosses they never chose,
waiting for a resurrection of their children lost in prison cells that always seems one sunrise away.
So forgive us Dear,
if our "Amen" is quieter than yours.
We are tired.
We are hopeful.
We are still praying.
But today...
You ask too much from a Ugandan. Faith is surely one thing we don't have, we are still struggling to hold onto hope to see our loved ones soon out of unknown detentions before our broken hearts fail us in nights wake,
we are still searching for the strength to heal from the pain and wounds that those close to you have inflicted on your souls and bodies that have left scars so deep that even time makes them hard to forget.
I genuinely pray the heavens answer your prayers and grant you all you search for.
But your topic of summons today asks of us that which those close to you have ripped from people in the most painful of ways it sounds more like a mockery than a summon.
A fresh chapter in leadership rises with the 92nd Guild Representative Council. Cheers to MTM, Evas Akello, Tumwebaze Emily Mpora, and Taremwa Arthur on earning the trust and mandate.
All I wish you is a journey marked by impact and purpose towards the gallant community ๐

Climate change, conflict, and lack of infrastructure for safe water and sanitation continue to fuel outbreaks of #cholera.
โ ๏ธ 2025: More than half a million people across 32 countries were infected and more than 7,000 people died of cholera.
Access to clean water and sanitation is key to preventing spread of this acute diarrhoeal disease that can kill within hours.
Cholera is easily treated with oral rehydration solution, and vaccines can be effective in outbreaks.
โก๏ธMore year-end health stories coming your way tomorrow. Stay tuned and keep following WHO.
๐ Africa has the highest number of noma cases - a devastating oral disease that causes severe tissue decay and facial disfigurement.
But it doesnโt have to be this way.
๐ก Noma is preventable.
โ๏ธIt is also treatable if detected early.
@WHO is working with partners to support a more integrated and people-centred approach to tackle noma and other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
