You are cordially invited to the 9th Annual ICOB Convention, which will be held
from July 28-31, 2011 at the Croydon Park Hotel in London, United Kingdom. Our
theme this year is ‘Guharanira Kunoza’ (In Pursuit of Excellence), with a focus
on Education and Culture. Pursuing excellence is a matter of recognizing who
you are, what you have, where you are in life, and striving to improve upon it.
There is no end zone in seeking excellence; there is always more to achieve.
There will be expert, panel and open forum discussions to address topics of
educational and cultural interests to the community.

''I would, in writing this, like to remind the settlers that even if they
become rich and change their mother tongue, they should remember the proverb
'Gatagata munonga gateebirwe wa beene mbeho’ “They must never forget the good
customs and characteristics of the Bakiga, nor forget their own language; and
they must feel in their bones that they are Bakiga, remembering where they used
to live.” - Paulo Ngorogoza
Mr Paulo Ngorogoza was the first African Secretary General of Kigezi, and he
wrote his book 'Kigezi and Its People', in 1967. His reference to Bakiga alone
was because they were predominantly the ones who had migrated from Kigezi to
other lands such as Nkore, Toro and Bunyoro in the preceding two decades. Had
he been alive today, Mr Ngorogoza, one of the most visionary leaders Uganda has
produced, would have addressed himself to all Banyakigezi and all Ugandans who
have left their homelands.
