In April, Uganda underwent the second phase of a vaccination campaign against yellow fever disease that is spread through a bite from an infected Aedes mosquito, informally known as the “tiger” mosquito because of its black and white markings.

Now, there is a PhD for a boy whose parents passed away before he was 12 years old and his grandmother-guardian just four years later. This is nothing short of a miracle for the youth who could hardly afford to eat. When Buule Samson and Mary Katusabe departed, the role of looking after their son rested with the latter’s grandmother who died by the time the grandson was age 16. At the time, he had just completed Senior One at Lugazi High School in central Uganda. 

It was a sweet victory for the Mukono-based side since they had lost to the Lady Doves 3-0 a week ago in the FUFA Women Super League.

With the FUFA Women’s Super League coming to an end, the UCU Lady Cardinals are in an unsafe position, currently ranked ninth in the league with only 14 points and two matches remaining. Despite recently winning the FUFA Women’s Cup, there are still worries over whether their cup success can translate into league survival.

It is the Trinity semester at Uganda Christian University (UCU),  different from the ones before, coming right at the peak of the year. It is the perfect moment to check in on the goals we set at the beginning of the year.

Lady Cardinals made a double change introducing Sandra Kisakye and Meble Kusasira for Winfred Atimango and Peace Aloyo.

UCU Canons returned to winning ways with a remarkable 92-72 victory against Power in a National Basketball League encounter at Lugogo Arena.

“We learned early that relationships would be the key to the success of the program,” said Mark Bartels, now executive director of a USA-based nonprofit, Uganda Partners. “Beyond the essential rapport with the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) and UCU was that the program provided relationships with other students, host families, faculty members and supervisors – primarily Ugandans.”

Can you imagine being in good physical health but still not being able to play the game you love?”

UCU Canons fell to Kampala Rockets in a 67-70 loss in the National Basketball League encounter at Lugogo Indoor Arena.
