Dear Fellow Ugandans and friends:
Thank you for your continued dedication to this campaign, and to our vision of a UNAA that meets our goals and aspirations as an immigrant community. I especially appreciate your overwhelming insistence on a positive campaign while my opponents are trying to derail us to personal issues that will do nothing to uplift our UNAA organization, and our community. Your support is overwhelming and your wonderful flow of ideas is keeping us focused on our plan to drive the changes you desire to change UNAA for the better. I am excited to have Dr. Frank Matovu running for Vice President who shares this vision and is committed to this positive campaign.
I do apologize though that this week I am playing catch up in my responses to your comments to my campaign website. Your feedback is important to me and I assure you that I am working hard to be caught up by this weekend. The reason for this delay is because I just got back from a trip to our motherland Uganda.
Today, I would also like to share with you my experience and report on my mission to Uganda. I successfully accomplished two things: accompanying my mum here from Uganda, and to pave the way for a medical mission group led by Dr. Noel Johnson of Global Missions Fellowship. Thirty-five medical professionals are in Uganda setting up a free medical camp affiliated with Kinoni Health Center in Masaka.
I started working with this group last year around November when I gave a presentation at the Maple Park Church in Lynnwood, Washington about the health needs of this area, especially concerning women and children. At this same presentation I also spoke about health needs in Lira and the Northern Uganda area. I received many questions about Kony and the atrocities in the North. The congregation was afraid to go to Northern Uganda right away because of fear of security issues. With some more assurance, they still plan to go to Northern Uganda on their next mission trip which might be sometime next year.
I received tremendous support from Hon. Mike Mukula of the Ministry of Health to make the group's trip smooth and efficiently get the needed supplies into Uganda. I appreciate the support and efficiency of Hon. Mukula's office. This is an example of how a good Friends of Uganda program should work.
The mission group knows that I am running for the UNAA Presidency and insisted in putting in their two cents in hope that it will help my campaign. Please read comments below:
Margaret Musoke has been a strong ally and inspiration to our team going from the US to Uganda on a medical mission. She has smoothed the way by personally meeting with the Ugandan government officials and has given us invaluable insights and resources. We would not have been able to complete this mercy mission to Uganda without Margaret's inspiration and help.
Dr. Noel Johnson
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of Margaret Musoke who is a tireless worker on behalf of her beloved home of Uganda. My husband, Noel, who is a physician, and I, a registered nurse, will be taking a group to Masaka, Uganda for a mini-medical mission trip to aid and serve the people of need there. Margaret has been invaluable in her assistance of time, contacts, and helpful advice to us in our planning. She is warm, friendly, energetic, and has the drive to accomplish what she says she will do. I strongly and enthusiastically recommend Margaret for the position of leadership in the Ugandan North American Association without reservation. She is a true asset who will benefit all who are under her leadership.
Sincerely yours,
Trisch Johnson, RN
Brothers and sisters, locating Friends of Uganda and leveraging these relationships is one of my greatest strengths. Business development and building alliances is a skill that I have cultivated in positions held in corporate America within the last 15 years. My job is not to count the money but to bring in the money. Counting money can be easily learned, bringing in the money is a skill cultivated over time. I want to bring this skill to UNAA and take us to the next level. All of us have our own issues in personal development to deal with; if these were not there we would not be human. But these aside, I would like you to make a choice based on professional merit and work ethic and caliber of individuals that will uplift us and make us all proud. Our leadership offers this, and we ask for your support to put our vision into action.
If you truly want results and to see a UNAA that is a participant in mainstream America and a resource to our homeland then vote for me as your President and vote for Dr. Frank Matovu as your Vice President.
This is my pledge to you.
Warmest regards,
Margaret Musoke
Candidate for UNAA President 2005
