A Shield in one Hand and a Spear in the other!
I took this photo at Lesedi Cultural Centre in South Africa. In Africa a shield is a symbol of security or protections and it was used by the great warriors to protect the people and their kingdoms. In my culture, when an elder pa****-on, his successor is given his belonging. If its a boy, he is given a spear and shield. If its a girl, she is given a basket and a knife. The shield…

Emergency call to Action for YOU!!
During a pandemic, people are usually upset about the outrage. In such situations, you dont want to tell the communities to "watch out" as that will even cause more fear and panic.
We need activists who will listen to the people and tell them that "we will make it through together".
The local community health workers would do a great job in calming down the situation. Often, we have ignored the role of these community health workers. We have not given them the…

Just a Citizen Journalist "Covering Risk"!
During a Global Crisis or Pandemic, good communication is key. Its very important that you spread the information with out creating panic in the people considering the uncertainty that the communities are experiencing at that time.
For professional journalists this could be quite simple as compared to the citizen journalists who often use their skills when reporting. So, what is the role of officials and journalists as they deal with both people’s strong emotions and emerging facts as they…

Women Empowered 2020
In the year 2010 I wrote a blog Foster Girl Sports! to inform the Urgent Evoke agents about the new sports academy/ club that my friend wanted to start to empower young girls in Uganda.

Floods and Kampala City: Inside Uganda
Kampala is the Capital of Uganda. The city is surrounded by low-lying areas which turn into big lakes when it rains heavily.
Continue
Most of these low-lying areas are extensions of the city and because accommodation and cost of living are lower, many people are settled there and this has turned these places into slums. Most of these are wetlands and slums. They are heavily affected by heavy rain - water gushes everywhere into people's houses, shops and the road are covered by over 3 feet…

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
