Rotarians help to clean Kajjansi town

By Our reporter

Rotarians were  were sweeping the roadside and Market area in Kajjansi plus collecting garbage.  A few of them wore surgical gloves  to enable them collect garbage from the roadside trenches of Kajjansi township while others were on their knees, pulling grass growing through the tarmac parking lot.
It is not fiction but this happened last Thursday,  January 26, 2012, these gallant Rotarians decided to clean the community in which they live.

The Roatarians were not cleaning Dreams Guest house where they have their fellowships every Wednesday, nor were they on community service sentenced by courts of law. No one even ordered them to clean. They volunteered to do this to let the people of Kajjansi get to know that Rotary is about service above self.
The Rotarians headed by their President Peace Taremwa were joined by Wakiso District Chairman Matia Lwanga Bwanika who praised Rotary for its work.  They were also joined by local leaders from the area to clean up the town.

The cleanup lasted about four hours. At 11:00am, all Rotarians were invited to take a photo with the Wakiso District chairman before he left for official duties. They later resumed their work. “ We are set to do good in the World” President Peace noted.
Locals were mesmerized  to see Rotarians clean in a happy mood yet they had not been paid anything.

Rotary club of Kajjansi organises a wonderful home hospitality

By Rose Nakafu

God in all his wisdom led and enabled RtnSsesanga and the Magalas to organize a home hospitality for the Rotary Club of Kajjansi on 28th January 2012.

The event was awe-inspiring and naturally where Rotarians gather, many great things follow. First there was a thanksgiving mass (house warming), then fellowship, followed by bidding farewell to Rtn Joyce Magala who will be leaving the country next week to finish with her PHD. There were plenty of eats, drinks (soft and hard) and music. Rotarians and non-Rotarians displayed great dancing strokes save for me who does not like a sight of dusty shoes! As others danced others networked and talked to the accompaniment of lagers, tea, sodas, and spirits. Seated next to Rtn Mbowa (Ssese) I could see him enjoying the chicken and spring rolls wondering who the Chef was!

As the Rotarians from Kajjansi sang Rotary songs, many Rotarians of Kyengera were overheard whispering to each other planning to transfer to Kajjansi Rotary Club (Rtn.Namakajjo, Rtn.Nambaale, Rtn Spire, Rtn.Namugalu .... Oh my God the list is too long). The non –Rotarians were reminded of the primary speech days and concerts.

If you missed this, please just be on the look for the next DO to be hosted by Rtn Andrew Kyabaggu.
I sincerely thank all Rotarians who attended the function. Special thanks to the Country Chair for honouring our invite, she made Kajjansi proud and on top of other clubs.
Bravo Rtn Moses Ssesanga and the Magalas.
