  • Mpererwe Benefits from Neighbours by JOHN MASABA
    44 SATURDAY VISION, February 8, 2014 HOMES & CONSTRUCTION Mpererwe benefits from neighbours BY JOHN MASABA NTIL you mention its neighbouring suburbs, Kasangati and Gayaza, one would be hard-pressed to find people on the streets of UKampala who know the location of Mpererwe. It is a suburb living in the shadows of its neighbours. But there is a lot that sets it apart. Mpererwe is cleaner and more orderly. There are plenty of rubbish skips in the town. A hot midday sun is nothing to worry about because there is a constant cool breeze that keeps sweeping across. It is perhaps due to the trees that still stand tall in Mpererwe town, despite the numerous houses. Found on the Kampala–Gayaza Road, Mper- erwe is the third major trading centre after, Ka- lerwe, Kyebando and Kanyanya. It is bordered by Katalemwa, in Wakiso district, to the north; Kisaasi to the east, Kanyanya to the south and Kawempe to the west. The suburb is located in the confluence of the Lusanja-Kiteezi, Mwaze-Gayaza and Kampala- Foodstuffs are cheaper in Mpererwe than other city suburbs. Pictures by John Masaba Gayaza roads.

    Editorial INTRODUCTION This publication is based on ideas shared at a conference held in Uganda, in September 2001. The conference was hosted by the Uganda National Institute of Special Education (UNISE) in Kampala and its theme was ‘Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) as a participatory strategy in Africa.‘ The steering committee for the conference had representatives from all interested stakeholder groups in Uganda, including the involvement of disabled people themselves, multiple donors, relevant ministries and local non-government organisations (NGOs). A full list of members of the Steering Committee can be found in the Acknowledgement. People with impairments participated in all stages, from the planning process, to delivering presentations, chairing sessions, giving feedback and participating in discussions. The occasion provided a unique opportunity for synergy of ideas with 140 delegates including anthropological researchers, teachers, nurses, university lecturers, disabled people, people with impaired vision or hearing, physical impairments, parents of children with disabilities, government officials and community workers. They came from 14 different countries: Denmark, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Liberia, Namibia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania/Zanzibar, Uganda, the United Kingdom, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The main aim of the conference was to bring together key stakeholders and provide the opportunity for them to share their experiences of CBR as a participatory strategy. It also aimed to lay the foundations for future co-operation and networking between groups and individuals and provide an opportunity to identify a way forward, in the form of a plan of action. As part of the process, it was agreed that the activities would be recorded and edited in the form of a book, which would be distributed as widely as possible.

  • Jannes Wagner 1. Rundbrief Katalemwa Cheshire Home
    Jannes Wagner 1. Rundbrief Katalemwa Cheshire Home Kampala, Uganda 2018/19 Liebe Leser*, endlich habe ich es geschafft, diesen Rundbrief zu schreiben, was während des Ankommens in einen neuen Land doch gar nicht so einfach war. Inzwischen sind schon wie im Flug mehr als vier Monate vergangen und ich habe mich ganz gut eingelebt. Aber ich möchte hier am Anfang der Reise beginnen und das war ja noch in Deutschland: nach all den Impfungen, Übersetzungen und sonstigen Vorbereitungen konnte ich im Ausreisekurs endlich mal etwas entspannen. Das Programm war anspruchsvoll und hat den Großteil des Tages gedauert. Es war eine sehr schöne Atmosphäre und wir Freiwilligen sind untereinander und mit den Betreuern schnell warm geworden. Das Seminar dauerte zwei Wochen und endete nur eine Woche vor Ausreise, wodurch man sich zwar gut darauf einstellen konnte, aber auch noch einige Dinge sehr schnell erledigen musste (hier nochmal vielen Dank an meine Familie, ohne die ich leider viel zu verplant gewesen wäre). Auf dem Seminar wurden Themen behandelt wie z.B.: Treffen auf andere Kulturen, Kolonialisierung, Diversity und Sozialisierung aber auch praktische Dinge wie Sicherheit. Nach der gefühlt sehr kurzen Woche zuhause traf ich am Abreisetag auch schon früh am Morgen die anderen EIRENE Freiwilligen am Flughafen und es ging endlich los. Ich muss tatsächlich sagen, dass ich erst jetzt so langsam wirklich das Gefühl habe, zu realisieren, dass ich jetzt wirklich ein ganzes Jahr weit weg von zuhause, meiner Familie und meinen Freunden, in einem fremden Land verbringe. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war ich kaum aufgeregt und eher entspannt. Der Flug dauerte fast 16 Stunden, was trotz gutem Film-Angebots und viel Schlaf ziemlich lange war.
