Dear all,
I will soon be sending out periodic newsletters with selected stories
that will keep us informed about various issue pertaining to
development, business and entertainment in our region, information will
be sourced from various people and places.
This initiative will focus on catalyzing debate on various subjects and
should they become interesting enough I will facilitate the meetings of
minds to cause some activity and eventually solutions to the subjects (I
will therefore continuously study the debates, create round table talks
and encourage project formulation).
The stories will include business, development work, projects and other
associated sorts of information as in this one below;
New business
A team of entrepreneurs from Uganda have come together to initiative yet
another new venture China Business Center! What can we benefit from
trade relations with China? Potentially the biggest economy in the world!
We can now assist you deal with China

<http://www.chinabusinesscenter.co.ug/> by facilitating trade between
Uganda and China feel free to go through the website and engage the
company - I am one of the heads behind this initiative as explained here
http://www.chinabusinesscenter.co.ug/index.php/about-us/our-people
If you are interested in real estate or just want to buy/sell,
rent/sublet a property here is also a new initiative that you can
interact with http://www.onlinerealestate.co.ug/ as you may notice there
are already properties from Arua listed.
The most interesting part is we can also introduce and facilitate
interaction between prime land owners and investors so that they can
enter into joint ventures, isn't this beautiful? I am one of the heads
here too.
New Initiatives
coming soon will be ICT for Agriculture ... Watch this space, this will
focus on encouraging all actors on the Agricultural Value Chain to
embrace ICT as a way of reducing costs of business as well as accessing
more opportunities around the world.
In the meantime look out for updates on the upcoming Global Cassava
Partnership (GCP21-II) http://www.danforthcenter.org/gcP21-II/
Conference coming to Uganda - it will be hosted at The Commonwealth
Resort Munyonyo June 18-22, 2012 and my role here is coordination of the
organising committees of the conference. The Ugandan host is The
National Crop Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI) in Namulonge.
WNF activities general
The West Nile Foundation & The Vision Group are currently engaged in
discussing how they (The Group) may be useful in supporting West Nile
Development initiatives. What is coming out clearly is that Education is
the biggest concern and needs to be address squarely so as to bolster
the other areas of development.
Projects
Science Cafe
Science Care Arua has resumed and is expected to grow to greater heights
during the course of the year, so tomorrow if you are in Arua and are
interested this is an activity to support. Learn more about Science Cafe
here http://www.sciencecafeuganda.org/.
Science Cafe Kampala works are on the drawing board, you will soon see
some post like "Coming to the Cinema near you ..."
Associated Projects
St. Joseph's College Ombaci will this month launch the first phase of
the Solar Light up Ombaci project which was selflessly led by Charles
Draecabo of an OB of Ombaci. The plan is to make this a success and
replicate it to other schools.
The college had earlier launched a tree planting project (Led by Godfrey
Mundua an OB of Ombaci) as well, the lessons from that project will be
shared at an appropriate date and replication can start.
Both projects got good support from associated OB's especially from
Mvara SSS, we encourage more collaborations and all interested are
invited to this years St. Joseph's day celebrations & reunion at Ombaci
on 24th of March 2012.
Otherwise the annual activities will have updates soon. Let our Motto
for West Nile Foundation this year be.
Either - Lets walk the talk
or - Lets stop lamenting and dive into action
or - Time up, let's get smart....
Regards
Richard
