It all started with an Anthem, there was a full choir to lead the Anthem, the first time it was officially sang - it was launched in the presence of dignitaries, high profile politicians, business people and elders from West Nile. I saw many people I had heard of and many I had never known and wondered why sometimes we cry that we do not have people in high places, that we do not have educated and learned people, that we do not have a sizable number of business personalities.
We have many successful stories from West Nile and may want to start focusing on the pluses of the region rather than the negatives. Susan Kerunen played highly classy music that for a moment I forgot what I was doing, just standing there and watching this talent from an Alur from West Nile, her music is so appealing and yet soft getting into your blood slowly but surely! I was so happy to see this very polite, unassuming lady - we had a chat before she left and I was humbled by her good nature see a bit of her here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx6P_UDpGPo - in private I may just give you access to her music J Following her performance were interludes of a live performing band from Congo, together with performing MC Ezaga & MC Ejibua - The welcome and ushering committee was so full of colour that they would immediately lift your mood for the occasion! Did we think the entertainment was done not yet! There was none other than J. Candiru who came in style and entertained the guests with her slightly different style intriguing, active and bold she showed a style of sophistication a pinch of nice arrogance that which comes with a Hollywood kind - Perfecto J keep going - a feel of her can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gSmTZnOgOg - Ecstatic! The dinner had other activities like arrow and bow fundraising as well as dance into the night. Anyhow a very successful 10th anniversary dinner, CEFORD we pray gets better and better, the new logo, magazine, website (www.ceford.org.ug ) was launched. With this organisation and other such we stand to achieve a lot more development in West Nile - Maximum appreciation to the CEFORD team. People came all the way from West Nile they gave testimonies of how their lives have been transformed in simple ways, through exposure to knowledge, best practices and training. A total diversion from the thinking of scarcity to that of abundance! A total display of potential of the region, culture, potential and all - long live!
