Medicine and music: UCU student from Nigeria seeks nexus
As a young girl, Dorcas Chizaram Okeke was thin and weak – a common face at the school sick-bay. At times, she wrote her promotional examinations while receiving intravenous treatment. She had “self-pity.” This early personal condition and two incidents spurred her on to become a health care expert.

Fasting: A spiritual discipline
Kakembo Micheal, a 24-year-old Boda Boda rider based on a stage along Kayunga Road in Mukono is taking a nap on his bike in the afternoon. Clad in the trademark jacket that Boda riders in Uganda love to wear, I wonder how he can afford to keep himself so warm in such skyrocketing heat. I notice that his lips are cracked and dry. I decide to wake him up and I also realize that his eyes are red and teary. I start to imagine that he is probably sick. However, after engaging him in a casual conversation, he admits that he last had a meal the previous evening as he was observing the spiritual discipline of fasting and prayer.

UCU Chaplain: God helped me defeat Covid-19
But God granted me divine favor. It was a Friday morning. A nurse walked in to check on patients who had been admitted the previous evening. She was a UCU alumna. She knew me. God used her to get me to a better ward, where I got a private room, with certain privileges such as accessing fruits to make juice and immunity-boosting concoctions from lemon and ginger, among other foods.
