When I was about to drop out of Jinja Sec School due to lack of fees, God sent an angel, Maama Jaasi, a kind lady who gave me 12 pieces of ngege/tilapia fish,taught me how deep fry them,lent me cooking oil,a frying pan&a kataasa/tray, putting me in business that kept me in school This was in 1989 in S1,after the uncle who was paying my tuition lost his job following the privatisation of the @GovUganda factory in which he was working, as part of the @IMFNews &@WorldBank conditionalities for Uganda to get money from the two financial institutions

My featured mentor today is @eduardodelbuey one of the most empowering bosses I have ever worked with.
