Dear all,
Yesterday evening we held yet another exciting cafe at Jose's place in Nalya. Many of our brothers and sisters turned up to the meeting which focused on lifestyles non-communicable diseases - diseases that penetrate slowly unnoticed and yet of a chronic nature! Dr. Worodria gave a historical perspective to how these sicknesses have affected human life and the changing environment in which we live, and later addressed their nature, how they affect the human body and eventually destroy organs. Some highlights were actually interesting; 1. We live longer, and hence the emergence of these diseases 2. We have increased processed foods and increased purchasing capacity These developments have come along with negative issues as well including Hypertension, Diabetes, Cancer, Gout etc. The use of social communion for knowledge sharing has proved to be quite successful in many parts around the world and even informally in Uganda - many times conflict in family among others were solved around the "Ajon" - many call it Malwa The Science cafe is a unique knowledge sharing forum that tackles various topics within the sphere of human development. It will in addition to natural sciences focus on other topical issues and the next discussion will focus on Estate Management our brothers in the legal fraternity will probably take lead here. We also hope to broadcast through radio if a good agreement is reached with the radio's in the region. A small committee will coordinative the Kampala activities, the adhoc committee set up will include; Joseph Dramadri Paul Lobe Okuti Boroa Kivumbi Kikonyogo Patrice Mawa Christine Munduru & Anthony Ajiku A summary of the discussion will be shared during the week - enjoy your Sunday, and lets embrace yet another West Nile Forum activity. Thanks to Patrice & Christine, Dr. Worodria, Jose and all participants. Lets share knowledge for development of our region.
