THEME Rotary Fellowship

Congratulations PE Sophie on a great Installation function! 4 o'clock on Saturday 11th June marked the start of a colorful function. The chief guest Rtn Dr Louis and Rtn Edith Kasekende arrived spot on time; followed shortly afterwards by our special guest DGN Ken Mugisha, which was a great honor to us. The aim of the function was the smooth hand over of power from WCP Julie to PE Sophie as well as Rotaractor Sozi to Phillip Wamala; thus a joint Rotaract-Rotary installation. The function kicked off with the Rotary norms followed by a speech from the outgoing Rotaractor President Husein Sozi enumerating the successes achieved in the year. He handed over the reins to Rotaractor Enock Kajjoba, who promised to grow the club and revitalize it.

The club adopted a village project in Mukono district in 2014-16; where the nearest primary school was 5 km away from the village; a challenge for the young children to walk every day. In fact two children drowned as they crossed a stream during the rainy season. Parents had withdrawn many of the children from school, Rtcr. Hussein Ssozi handing over a certificate of appreciation increasing the number of children out of school. The to WCP Julie at the installation. club together with Children Safe Uganda, local NGO are building a primary school. She crowned off her speech with presentation of awards to club members who had excelled in moving the club forward. The installation was smooth, WCPs Sozi and Julie passing on the presidential chains on their own free will. Rtn Dr Kasekende performed the installation. Rotary Club of Kasangati has enjoyed the consecutive leadership of female presidents for the last 3 years. PE Sophie is the 4th female president in a row. In her acceptance speech Rtn Sophie pledged to move the club forward with the support of the All Star Team. She will lead the club into expanding the Adopt a Village project further. Rtn Dr Louis Kasekende commended RC Kasangati for reaching out to Makukuba and the commitment to service above self. His support to the club was evident from his presence at different times.

He served diligently in various Uganda Penal institutions from Masindi, to Ismiba, then Mutukula and finally Murchshion Bay in Luziar. He describes working with inmates as difficult task but was only able to succeed by God’s grace ending his career without any record of disciplinary action against him. He joined Rotary in 2007 at the invitation on of the Charter President Matte with whom he attended church at the All Saints Church in Manyangwa. His interest in rotary was supported by his wife and the commissioner general of prisons he is a member at RC Kajjansi. In his own words, he describes Rotary as very supportive, a warm feeling of togetherness and sharing knowledge. He loves the home hospitalities which he says are very welcoming Rtn Geresom got married in 1980 and has been blessed with 9 children including a set of twins Wasswa and Kato.
