The tension preceding this process notwithstanding, we largely had a peaceful election. This was indeed a good time to reflect on the theme for this month - Peace and Conflict Prevention/ Resolution. For many people, peace is equated to mean the absence of war. Thankfully in this edition, Rtn. Dennis Wong, a Co-founder of the Rotary Action Group for Peace and Rtn. Jones Kyazze, a retired International Civil Servant help us understand the different dimensions of peace. Editorial team: In January 2020, Rotary International and Makerere University launched the first Rotary Peace Centre on the African Continent. It was a great joy for every Guru Sykes Rotarian, especially those in Zone 22 to have Makerere host the seventh Rotary RC DSM Mbezi Peace Centre. This month, the first cohort of Peace Fellows will begin their classes for a year-long Certificate in Peace-building, Conflict Transformation and Development. What a joy for us, to partake of this achievement as we celebrate Rotary’s 116 anniversary this month. Application for the 2022-23 Helen Kawesa intake for all Rotary Peace Centres starts this month, check out the Rotary RC Kampala website for more information. Ssese Islands The Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution focus area receives the least requests for Global Grant funding in our District. In this edition, we bring you Gyaviira Luwaga articles from the executive members of the Rotary Action Group for Peace, RC Muyenga who are also willing to support Rotary clubs to develop projects in this Tankhill area. This edition is rich with articles about peace, and different projects implemented by Rotary clubs. As the countdown to the end of District 9211 era begins, we encourage you to continue sharing your club and personal Rotary stories for publication. The benefits of sharing your Rotary story cannot be Catherine Rose Baretto underestimated. Speaking at last month’s Zone 22 Zoom meeting, Jennifer RC DSM North Jones the Rotary International President Nominee encouraged us Rotarians www.malariafreeug.com to share stories about the good we do, as this will attract like-minded people to join us. “Good public relations is about telling our story.

The physical hazards may include injury from sharp objects such as broken land, but also on risky bottles and needles in waste dumps. areas like former waste- Chemical hazards involve exposure through contact of chemicals with the skin, dumping sites, scrap inhalation of dust from contaminated soil yards, wetlands and or gaseous emissions and through ingestion of food crops contaminated with toxic roadsides. waste from soil and wastewater. Psychosocial hazards may arise from insecurity due to unclear land tenure, loss of farmland, fear of theft and violence or overload due to long hours of work. Biological hazards may be due to parasitic worms, bacteria and vector-borne diseases, such as malaria parasites hosted by certain food crops with life cycles in humans and other media.

This study explored the lived experiences of pregnancy among women with sickle cell disease receiving care at Mulago National Referral Hospital. Methods This was a qualitative phenomenological study conducted on 15 participants who were women with sickle cell disease with the experience of pregnancy. In-depth audio recorded interviews were conducted to collect data from women who were pregnant at time of study or had ever been pregnant aged 16 to 38 years of age with sickle cell disease. Recorded data was transcribed and analyzed using content thematic approach. Results This study revealed that pregnant women with sickle cell disease faced both negative and positive health care experiences and individual lived experiences of pregnancy. The few positive individual lived experiences were joy of motherhood and giving birth to child free of sickle cell disease whereas the negative individual lived experiences reported were recurrent painful crises, pregnancy loss, premature delivery, stigma and discouragement, relationship discord and desertion by spouse.

  • Kampala City

    Kampala City

    KAMPALA CITY Stimulus Paper PASCAL International Exchanges Dr. Joseph Oonyu and Dr. Josephine Esaete, School of Education College of Education and External Studies, Makerere University __________________________________________________________________________ 2 Kampala City has evolved from a small town of 8 km through a “City of Seven hills” at independence in 1962 to one of the fastest growing cities in Africa. Today Kampala City occupies more than twenty five hills that include Makerere Hill on which the country‟s biggest and oldest university is located (Kibirige, 2006). The hills have steep slopes separated by wide valleys. The city derives its name from the land of “Impala” (antelope) that roamed the area before it was taken over for human settlement. The first administrative post was set up at Old Kampala Hill by Lord Lugard (British Administrator) in 1890 covering an area of 0.68 km2. It was gazetted into a town council in 1906 with an area of 8 km2 and was extended to cover an area of approximately 195 km2 in 1968. In 1962, Kampala replaced Entebbe as the capital of Uganda. Despite its proximity (32 km) to the equator, the city has a moderate climate, largely because of its altitude (about 1,220 m). Kampala City is located in the central region of the country, which experienced the first contact with European Missionaries and Arab traders at the turn of the previous century. The City today has grown into a commercial, educational, cultural and administrative centre of Uganda with an approximate population of 2.5 million people. Considering that the population was 330,700 in 1969, 1,208,544 million in 2002, and 1,811.794 in 2010, this signals rapid urbanization in the country.
