Homosexuality a threat to the Uganda society???
Related to country: Uganda

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

For many of my single sex brothers and sisters reading this article please remember that i respect you and love you. In Uganda Homosexuality is the topic covering most media headlines. The Pentecostal church has been worst hit with many youth coming up with claims that they have been abused by Pastors. The media and Government are covering this story like its a new phenomenon in Uganda. This is not something new in our society and thus instead of some stakeholders using it to defame others, they should accept the reality that its here. What i think Government should do is to come up with a policy of assisting those affected and infected by this vice. Its not a normal practice to me and for sure i cant go in for it, maybe it is for you but please remember God is against it.

OBAMA AFRICA REBORN
Related to country: Uganda

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The election of the first black American president of the United states is a great turning point to Africa. As Afrians this is the time for us to come to an understanding of who we are, and what we can do. I wish to thank all the white that voted for Barack Obama, this was a sign of true brotherhood and unity between America whites and blacks. America has showed us a true example of democracy and surely Africa should learn. Obama hails from Kenya a country that led to blood shed during the presidential elections. Thousands of lives where lost in a bid to retain power. I do pray that African leaders will learn from America and hand ove power peacefully. Africa this is the time to make all things new. Am proud that Martin Luther's spirit still lives even when he is dead.
GOD BLESS AFRICA.

ARE YOU SEEKING THE GIFTS OR THE GIVER?
Related to country: Uganda

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


Sometimes we get so caught up in seeking God's presents that we forget all about His presence! God wants every believer to remain in His presence and have a personal relationship with Him just like you would with any other friend. King David knew the importance of seeking God's presence and dwelling with Him. In Psalm 27:4, David writes, One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. David set himself to seek and require one thing--God's presence. The next two verses (Psalm 27:5-6) tell us the rewards of seeking God: For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at His tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. The rewards of seeking God are awesome; not only will you develop a closer relationship with God, but you will also find true joy and contentment. Psalm 16:11 says, You will fill me with joy in your presence. In other words, joy is found in God's presence--not His presents! Therefore, evaluate your life to make sure that you're seeking God, not just His gifts.
Be willing to let your schedule be altered if knowing God better requires it.
How can you know God better? Read his word, pray, listen for his voice, worship him. Notice that all of these things require time. In fact, improving any relationship with other people or with God requires time. However, far too many people find themselves too busy to spend any time getting to know God better. They've filled their calendar with pursuits of money, wealth, success, and status. However, as Solomon discovers in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, all of these pursuits are meaningless. Solomon built many houses, vineyards, gardens, and parks; he had many, many slaves and countless pieces of gold and silver, and he was the most prestigious man ever to live in Jerusalem. Indeed, he could buy anything his heart desired. However, Solomon comes to the realization that all of these things are worth nothing in the perspective of eternity: Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun (Ecclesiastes 2:11). Therefore, don't worry about any of these earthly things; instead, seek to know God better (see Matthew 6:25-34).
If all these earthly things are hindering your relationship with God, alter your schedule: get rid of some things so that you can spend time knowing God better.

Uganda remembers its displaced on World Refugee day.
Related to country: Uganda

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

As the world awaits to celebrate world refugee day, join me to remember the thousands of our brothers and sisters that have been displace in Uganda by the northern war. Uganda is a country that has been hit by a war between the rebel Joseph Kony and the Government for over 20 years now. This war has been characterised by brutal murders, child kidnapping, sexual abuse, massive destruction of social and economic infrastructure in the northern part of the country. We have incidents whereby people's throats have been cut open, their private parts slashed off. The most agonising was one in which the rebels burnt people alive in pots. Today we have over a million people living in displaced camps in Uganda. These people need our moral support as we celebrate this day.

HIV/AIDS AND STIGMA IN UGANDA
Related to country: Uganda

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Despite numerous attempts by the Ugandan Government to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS, Stigma is still a major problem, both to the patient and the caretaker. According to Mugisha Kemirembe of Mildmay Uganda, Majority of the patients come to the clinic in stage three of disease progression, with multiple opportunistic infections and would usually be forced to the clinic by the relatives. The patients who presented early were characterized with false identity, multiple registrations with different names to avoid being known. They would try to get out of the centre as soon as possible, usually not completing all the necessary care procedures. Some families refuse to take patients to the clinic for fear of being associated with HIV/AIDS themselves.
Some religious faiths in Uganda act as a deterrent to seeking HIV/AIDS care at all or early enough. Despite the massive education in Uganda, still some HIV/AIDS patients decline to go to health care centers because of stigma. There is need for more education and counseling about living positively. Some religious faiths and cultures need to be negated so as to fit into the modern health care systems, especially in the prevention and care of HIV/AIDS.

NB: The Author recognizes the research of Mugisha Kemirembe e-tal which was used as a case study .
