Book Description
This work traces the history and evolution of one of East Africa's most prestigious schools through the first 100 years of its existence. Written from an insider perspective, it traces the development of the school from its missionary roots, through its place in the Kingdom of Buganda, to the widening of the admissions policy to accept pupils from all areas of Uganda and beyond, and finally, the shift to co-education. The book celebrates the successes of the Budo project and the extraordinary range of high-level men and women it has produced, and analyses the administrative and political problems the schools has had to grapple with over the years. The book is described by Professor A.B.K. Kasozi, a linguist and educationalist of considerable renown in the region, as ?a micro-description at an institutional level of the growth of formal education in Uganda'.

Book Description
Margaret was a huge personality, an optimist with a great sense of humour. She advocated for gender equality, universal health access, and the welfare of the health workers. Leadership opportunities came her way unexpectedly. However, she would rise to the challenge and during her tenure, prove to be a dynamic and transformational leader. The eldest of 6 siblings, a prefect in all her schools, the first woman President of the Ugandan Medical Association, the first African woman President of the World Medical Association, the first Ugandan woman Rotary Country Chair and the first African President Elect of the International Association Medical Regulatory Authorities. She had unfulfilled ambitions to be Uganda’s first Forensic Psychiatrist. Hope After Rape was a charity she initiated in the aftermath of brutal civil wars, which took a catastrophic toll on women and girls. Unending insecurity wreaked havoc on people’s mental health in the 1980s and 1990s. Extremist curious phenomena emerged, such as the fierce warring Priestess, Alice Lakwena and her Holy Spirit Movement; the warlord Joseph Kony and his gun toting Lord’s Resistance Army, attacked villages at night, killing, maiming and kidnapping the innocent; the murder of thousands by Joseph Kibwetere and his cult Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments. The mental state of thousands was devastated, mental health services were severely under resourced, Margaret had to keep mental healthcare staff inspired and motivated to continue working. A renowned Rotarian, Margaret as Country Chair, led 70 Rotary Clubs. At the height of her achievements, having just taken early retirement, her sights set on the IAMRA presidency, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. Despite her beliefs in universal health access, she turned to health tourism for cancer treatment in India. Her commitment, determination and resolve came through to the end of her fight for life. This was an ordinary woman who excelled in leading the vulnerable and the mighty, in challenging environments with minimum resources.

Book Description
The discarded brick, a three season trilogy, in two volumes, is set in Africa, Europe and North America. It is about the travels and experiences of Emmanuel N. Mukanga who even in childhood, would be moved to a different location every three to five years. Born in the British Protectorate of Uganda, the changing political and economic fortunes of his post-independence homeland and region, led to thousands of his country people to flee and go look for greener pastures all over the world. This desire for a better and safer world, is a human desire and in Europe and North America, Emmanuel found people from other countries, in pursuit of happiness. Back home, not everyone was happy to co-exist with him. Fears and intrigue led to a family split, legal battles and irreconcilable differences. He and his siblings became a pariah to be avoided like the pest, The discarded Brick. Born in 1953, near the shores of Lake Victoria in Eastern Uganda, Emmanuel N. Mukanga was plucked from his parents at the age of three and taken to the Ugandan capital, Kampala. At age six, he was taken to a primary school, near Mbale in Eastern Uganda and at age nine transferred to Entebbe, former seat of the British Protectorate Government. At thirteen, he joined a prestigious boarding secondary school, after which he went to University to study the Arts. One of the reasons Idi Amin gave for expelling the 80,000 strong Indian Community from Uganda in 1972, was that, “they were milking the cow without feeding it,” which was not entirely true. He, who had no cow to milk, did not know that he too would have to leave his country of birth. He worked at Uganda Television, but in 1976, he fled Idi Amin’s Uganda, starting an odyssey that would take him to over 26 countries in Africa, Europe and North America. He interacted with many cultures, however, when it came to a denigration of his culture, at home, then a clash was inevitable. This awakened in him the question, “who are you, where do you come from and what do you stand for?” Cultural clashes, intrigue and legal battles follow. He has included an epilogue reflecting on his life and existence and tracing his origins among the Samia-Luhya, astride Kenya and Uganda. He started compiling this book in May 2009 and completed it in October 2020 during the great Covid 19 pandemic, and after George Floyd said twelve times, in less than 9 minutes, “Mama, I Can’t Breathe.”

Book Description
Guardian Angel the Book is like an Odyssey; a journey that questions and challenges the ethos of man through the ages; especially in East Africa, irrespective of time, site or circumstance. The author has consistently refused to veer from this contention; however unpalatable some of the home-truths that surfaces along the way; for this is not a fictional novel, but the living experiences of a suffering people through time. Many of the characters he faced in his battle for survival, were men that had no good reason to stray from the honourable path to Independence, and the true freedoms of their people. The Manifestos were believable and opportunities to implement them in their entirety were not denied them. They even enjoyed hero status as they were the first; they were the undisputed bearers of the flags of freedom. But sadly, they and they alone must chose to betray this goodwill; they and they alone must have succumbed to the ills of power. Guardian Angel - The Book, so aptly lays bare their hypocrisy and betrayal, while confirming the bounteous beauty of life
