  Keila has suffered from health problems since birth. During her last visit to the hospital, a doctor noticed a heart murmur. She was immediately referred to the Uganda Heart Institute. They found a hole between the two top chambers of her heart and diagnosed Keila with an atrial septal defect (ASD). Her ASD will cause congestive heart failure. Fortunately, surgery to close the hole is incredibly effective. Without it, Keila’s heart function will be compromised and lead to death. Her surgery has been scheduled for May 2nd, 2017. It costs $5,006.   Keila’s family lives in a two room house in Butabika, a slum of Kampala, Uganda. Her father is a driver, delivering beverages to shops. Her mother no longer works, allowing her to care for Keila and Keila’s brother. Even with a full time job, Keila’s father makes less than $100 a month. Luckily, the father’s insurance will pay for $1,556 of the surgery’s cost -- but the family is still $3,450 short. All of their savin...

  By Mwebya Fred ; @Ugaman01   Whether it's Hieroglyphics, Cave dwellings, Fireside chats or Ghost stories at a campsite that scared you so much you were afraid to go to sleep. Telling stories is one of the most fundamental ways in which we communicate with each other, and while the mediums through which we do this are changing, the concept remains the same. In fact the changing times of technology have even made storytelling much simpler than ever before, the internet is a great asset. With platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Blogger and WordPress, your ability to tell your story is simpler today than it was 20 years ago.     Something happens in our heads, in our brains, when we hear stories. Think about it – how much do you retain, when sitting in a classroom, or watching someone show you a PowerPoint presentation? Now think about how much you retain when your best friend tells you a story about something that recently happened? When we are be...

  Book Review by Mwebya Fred TITLE:   The State of Africa AUTHOR:   Martin Meredith In this book, Meredith offers an overview of the continent’s history that is both readable and illuminating, starting from the independence era of the fifties and sixties.   Almost without exception, however, the fortunes of Africa’s newly independent countries took a downward spiral. What went wrong? As Meredith shows, the honeymoon of African independence was brief, although memorable. African leaders, riding the crest of popularity, stepped forward with energy and enthusiasm to tackle the tasks of development and nation-building. Ambitious plans were launched, bright young men rose quickly to the top. The sense of euphoria had been raised to even greater heights by the lavish promises of nationalist politicians campaigning for power, pledging to provide education, medical care, employment and land for all. In defining their ideological stance, most governments opted ...
