Refractive errors affect visual performance and this can affect productivity at work and for school going children. Have atleast an eye check up once in two years in case you have no other commodities(Htn and DM). @EyeSanteClinic @OptometryUg

Interesting that she was helped in time, may God reward them abundantly. Many children still suffer with uncorrected refractive errors(short sighted, long-sighted and astigmatism) and this affects their general performances in class.EyeChecks are very crucial.@EyeSanteClinic

On Monday, my UOX daughter, Grace Rena Kitibwa, called me from school in tears because of her eyesight. Her myopia had become so severe that the school administration decided to send her home since she could no longer read what was on the board or in books

What made her cry was that end-of-term exams were beginning today (Thursday), and she feared she would miss them.

Honestly, didn't have enough money on me but i remembered that i am rich on meaningful social capital. I reached out to @LwanyaagaJP, the Director of @HAPAUG01, explained the situation, and he immediately reassured me.

Long story short, because of John Paul's kind heart, Grace is back at school today, sitting her exams with clear vision.

I received her lenses late yesterday, yet her first paper was scheduled for exactly 8:00 a.m. today. I called the Deputy Headteacher, explained the situation, and requested permission to bring her in late yesterday. Thankfully, he understood and allowed it.

I was with @DeeSandy20 and @GabrielBuule at the time. Without hesitation, Dee handed me her car, Buule fueled it, and together they simply said, "Go take your daughter to school."

And let's not forget that @TumukundeTT already committed to sponsoring Grace's education until she completes school

Moments like these remind me why I'm so proud to be part of UOX.

UOX is not just an online community. It is a real family filled with generous, compassionate, and selfless people who show up when it matters most.

To every one of you who has stood with Grace and many others, thank you. May God continue to bless you abundantly for every act of kindness. 🙏❤️

Days ago, I accidentally hit a parked Lexus . I felt terrible knowing that the owner would eventually return to find the car in that condition.

I waited for about 20 minutes, hoping the owner would come back. When no one showed up, I wrote a note, placed it under the windshield wiper, and drove away. In the note, I sincerely apologized, accepted full responsibility for the damage, and included my phone number.

When I got home, I kept expecting a call from the owner, but none came. I became worried, wondering if the wind had blown the note away or if the owner had simply not seen it.

This morning, my phone finally rang. It was the owner of the vehicle. I apologized again and explained how I had waited at the scene before leaving the note. As we talked, we switched to a WhatsApp video call.

During our conversation, I learned something that deeply moved me. Had I not left that note, the driver's life could have been turned upside down. The owner explained that it was his driver who had taken the vehicle out. When the driver returned with the note in tears, he admitted what had happened.

The owner said that if the note had not been there, he would have assumed the driver was responsible. He intended to have him arrested, compel him to pay for the damaged headlight, and dismiss him from his job—despite the fact that the driver's salary could never cover the cost of the repair.

I pleaded with him not to take such action. He replied that there was no longer any need since I had accepted responsibility.

He initially planned to send me his account details for the repairs, but later told me not to worry about it.

I left that conversation overwhelmed with gratitude to God. A simple decision to be honest and take responsibility may have saved a man from losing his job, his dignity, and his livelihood.

Behind every worker is a family. That driver is someone's husband and someone's father. Had events unfolded differently, his wife and children would have borne the pain of consequences they did not deserve.

Integrity may seem costly in the moment, but it can save lives, preserve livelihoods, and restore faith in humanity.

The biggest pain in this whole medical internship Saga is that the oppressors are fellow doctors seated in soft chairs at ministry enjoying AC, fat allowances and this has made them forget that they were once young and dependent on those in their positions.

That's the pain and they themselves did go through this...
