Word on the ground is that the long serving @PoliceUg Pallisa DPC Umar Mugerwa has been transferred to Kole. The people of Pallisa, are you sad or happy that he is leaving?

My fellow i Pallisa this speaks directly to you... Ill-mannered children everywhere being considered educated when they are not, because parents assume the school is the one responsible for teaching their children manners ... Nope!

'Education begins at home, while schooling starts with one's first formal class.' @joshua_pioneer

He says today's parents are schooling their children not educating them.

What are your thoughts on this perspective?

No reason for high levels of #malnutrition and stunting in Pallisa. These ingredients are all easily and readily available in Pallisa and should be the ones used on posters for #nutrition training. @KevinKaala

NUMA Bushera - millet flour is the new kid on the block in my breakfast ingredients. Have made porridge flavoured with oranges gifted me by my PA's mum delivered direct from Serere. Bananas bought in Entebbe from my favorite roadside street vendor. #BUBU #food #NutritionMatters

@faithchuna1 "The bananas are fruiting and the cassava is ripening, we ate a few. Despite having no mechanised tools and no irrigation system, the crops aren't disappointing. The Lord is still on our side."

Honorable and your hard work too. God helps those who help themselves it is said.

@CPARUGANDA Pallis ais in Bukedi and our poverty levels are high up there at 34.7 ... And yet apparently we are among the biggest exporters of our young people to work in the Arab world. Who will develop our home?

[CPAR UGANDA @CPARUGANDA]

We were so moved and inspired by Dr. @AttoGladys talk at @TEDxEntebbe that we decided to raise funds so as to enable restoration of eyesight and worth of rural poor in Uganda to deepen in #Karamoja but also replicated in other parts of Uganda. Read more👇on how you can help.

Happy #November2023

[Norah Owaraga @nowaraga]

Today is 1st day of Osuban, as we, Iteso, 5th largest first nation of Uganda, named Nov. In our Iteso agric-based seasons, Osuba is the last of 4 months in “The season of Plenty.” Other 3 are Aug, Sep & Oct. May your Nov be filled with plenty of that which you desire.

@KevinKaala have you seen this poll? Please vote and spread the word to @Parliament_Ug @pwatchug

[CPAR UGANDA @CPARUGANDA]

2. Assuming 12.1 #women use 4 #menstruation pads a day and menstruate 4 days a month, 70.7 billion used menstruation pads will be generated in #Uganda in 2023. Is Uganda managing well the disposal of billions of used disposable pads laded with menstrual blood - medical waste?

[CPAR UGANDA @CPARUGANDA]

1. According to #Uganda population estimates released by @StatisticsUg (source @Mukulaa), as of October 2023, the number of #Ugandan #women aged 15 to 54 years, of #menstruation age, is estimated at 12.1 million.

[Norah Owaraga @nowaraga]

In Iteso culture, “Marriage is legalized by the payment of bride-price & is dissolved by repayment of bride-price. There is no restriction on the number of wives a man may marry. A man customarily consults his first wife before marrying a second wife." https://t.co/khD7JjwKfl

[Norah Owaraga @nowaraga]

"Farmers in Teso were encouraged to grow oranges to supply to the Soroit Fruit Factory. Farmers did so, but apparently the factory does not buy their oranges." To what extent is this true? Consequently, what is the impact on food security and livelihoods in Teso?

[Norah Owaraga @nowaraga]

How was your October (Osokosokoma in Teso, the month of high grass (ema) and the time to cut thatching grass for renovating houses, granaries)? Did the grass block the paths in your neighborhood? Did you have plenty as the season should be? https://t.co/xFOa66haQI

Humility and good work ethic are learned from role models and elders who intentionally present an enabling environment. #foodforthought What role model are you? What are you doing to enable others to learn humility and good work ethics? #mentoring
