- About Me:
- I am the Administrator of Speakers Forum, a Public Speaking and Debating Training Programme. As an NGO, we are mandated to to open and support Community Libraries around the country, organise/host and support reading/debating competitions, Readers Clubs.
Furthermore, we have just launched a Career Guidance and Mentorship Outreach Programme for Schools. We visit schools and make a presentation about a topic chosen by the school administrator for 30 minutes. The students and staff are then asked to make contributions, ask us about any thing. Questions usually include but not limited to personal relationships, career, AIDS, current affairs, retirement, advice, unemployment.
- My dream:
- 1. To have a well stocked safe and accessible community library in all our communities.
2. To have communities with people who can freely express themselves
3. To reach each and every school in Uganda and give them the badly needed career tips mentoring.
- I'm proud of:
- Speakers Forum has opened more than 10 community libraries in different parts of the country. They include Bukoto Community Library (Headquarters), Budondo, Busede, Bugodi, mayuge, Bugembe, Namulesa, etc and many more are to open soon. We encourage women and girls to utilize them. This service has made many people happy and changed their lives.
I'm further proud of our Bukoto Speakers Forum Readers Club.
Also, through our Public Speaking Training Programme, Speakers Forum has boosted many people's confidence, sharpened their communication skills, etc
Every time we visit a school under our Career Guidance and Mentorship Programme, students open up to us, queue for the microphone to talk , and send us positive feedback, makes me so proud of our services.
