The birthday blood donation drive was such a success and i am super grateful to the wonderful humans who showed up to save lives. You are heroes and I send you my love and gratitude.❤

[Patricia Katusabe @PKatusabe]

For my birthday this year, I've organized a blood donation drive slated for next week, Thursday the 26th of Jan. There's been a shortage of blood and this will go a long way in saving lives. Please get in touch if this is something you'd love to be a part of. Thank you!❤

You know, Kitezi is now on fire. And the “technical” people on ground finding solutions are the Lord Mayor (you’ll see him in his sandals ascending a heap of septic garbage), @EriasLukwago_, a lawyer by profession, and @KCCAED, Hajat Sharifah Buzeki (in her attire that will certainly pick all creepy things from the landfill), a public administration expert. Both lack qualifications in waste management, fire science, fire engineering, fire safety, and the mechanics of slope stability in landfills. While the Lord Mayor, in his capacity, may not require technical qualifications, the Executive Director of a technical institution like KCCA needs a technical background. It makes decision making more swift and the cost of productivity low for the ED of KCCA to have an engineering/physics background.

I’m here thinking to myself, as they stand on top of that heap of garbage:

1. Are they aware of the risk of explosions that can lead to fatalities? The landfill contains confined methane and a lot of flammable materials.

2. Are journalists in place just in case a rat enters Hajjati’s dress? I know, she doesn’t fear cockroaches.

3. Does the mayor know that a man can have all the strength to kill a lion with his own hands and still be killed by a jigger? That a mayor of a potholed city should always move with gumboots?

4. Why are technical people in Uganda silent? Why are our scientists not speaking up?

This post is made mainly to ask question 4, above. What has happened to us engineers and scientists? Why should we see things burning and we don’t come out to speak? How do we hope to contribute to the development of our cities and nation?

It began here bridging the smartphone gap, its evolved into bridging the language gap. There’s an unconscious pattern that gives me pause.

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.

My nephew Matthew, now a @Georgetown sophomore, shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. My nephew has searched online and has found nothing similar so believes it not to be a "form letter." It's a beautiful precis on how to live a life of service.

February 11, 2019

To Matthew:

Thank you for your letter. I admire your interest in serving our country and appreciate your desire to begin that service as soon as possible. No matter what the future holds, there are a few things that young people must do to ensure success: Study hard in order to excel in college and learn as much as possible about the things that particularly interest you; be tenacious in fulfilling commitments, whether to others or to yourself; volunteer your time and talents to community projects, learning all you can about the specific needs of the country or state in which you live; and treat everyone—family, friends and strangers—with honest and respect. If you do these things, I’m sure you will find satisfaction in whatever career you chose.

With best wishes,

Jimmy Carter.

As you grow in capacity and influence as a woman, it is important to not desensitize yourself from these issues. All women are important to these struggles.

Donate to NGOs tackling these issues
Sponsor bills addressing these issues
Use your voice, money, platform and power

If it weren't for a supermarket security guard persuading a woman to make a complaint against Pelicot for up-skirting, his horrific crimes would not have come to light.

While we celebrate the courage of Gisele Pelicot, let's also rethink our approach to 'minor' sex crimes.

I have more work planned to collaborate on with this young lady — but what can say to many young people like her, please do not give up, or pass on an opportunity to showcase your self - an opportunity to impress. Put yourself out there as much as you can, believe, and utilize every opportunity to skill up because you never know when those skills will come in handy.

The Constitutional Court has ruled 3 times against trial of civilians in the court martial. It persists by a 2021 stay order of the Supreme Court in Kabaziguruka. 3 years later, the Supreme Court is yet to deliver judgment. #JusticeDelayed
