Helen tormented me into joining Rotary in 2025.Citing that my Persona was meant for Rotary.I visited quite a number of Clubs including hers,but unknown to Helen. I only looked forward to the many Rotary functions she invited me to.I never quite understood the entire concept beyond the fun and always found the perfect excuse to shy away from joining Rotary,”iam busy” being one of the major reasons. But Helen was relentless in her pursuit of me.She told me Rotary was for busy people and shared with me the benefits of being part of it.Therefore, when our then New Club advisor Rachael Lubowa invited me to join RC Kansanga in 2019,she was just preaching to the Converted.

Thus,through the Vertual fellowships in the Covid-19 period to the hybrid fellowhips steered by the three great men that have led the Club since its charter.CP Steven Kisekka. CMP Ronnie Kiganda and VP Timothy Sejjoba.
I have witnessed generosity,humility,love and Passion in the true meaning of service above self.Together,we have supported the needy,treated the sick,rehabilitated and extended safe and clean water to a School and shared happy moments while giving hope to the disadvantaged members of our community.
I would like to pay Special tribute to the members of this Club,who,everyday commit their time and resources to see the Club grow.In a Special way,I would like like to congratulate our immediate past President Timothy for a year well served.He has been a great steward of the Club.“While putting Kansanga at the fore.Infact, when you mention Timothy, the next words that come to my mind are,RC of Kansanga.Iam therefore,alive to the fact that iam filling in very big shoes but iam comforted the fact that President Timothy has pledged to continue to offer the much needed guidance and mentorship to the Club as our Club trainer in this Hope Creating Year.

Because leadership changes every year in Rotary,one of our challenges is continuity to ensure we achieve our long term goals.This means not just doing those things,we have always done things but ensuring the new innitiatives,ideas and aspirations of your Club are worked through to Completion.
