Blame not my thoughts but the perpetrators of modern day slavery. I am not an Angel and I do not believe in begging for food Everyday. It saddens me and makes want to cry every time  I hear or watch an advert calling on Ugandan Graduates to throw in their papers to go abroad and become drivers and Security Guards in the United Arab Emirates. Every time I remember the 16 years I spent in school not counting the pre-primary school because that I missed. A lot of questions fill my small brain and leave me wondering who has not done enough to save the Ugandan educated youths from the misery that befalls them in search for a better life. Parents spend all that they have educating their children to be better people after school, but only to find themselves selling a plot of land to contribute 4 million shillings to buy an air ticket that will enable their sons and daughters land in foreign lands and become security guards and drivers. Till this day I have never k...

In the 2000 adventure film “Castaway,” Tom Hanks plays a character shipwrecked on a deserted island who is so desperate for companionship he endows a volleyball with human qualities and relates to it as if it were his best friend. Wardens of prisoner-of-war camps and penal institutions have long recognized solitary confinement or complete isolation from fellow inmates as one of the most painful, dreaded forms of punishment. Human beings are social animals, and it comes as no surprise that isolation from family, friends, and other members of your “tribe” has a powerful effect on mental health. But in recent years, a number of studies have shown having ...
