I asked my team at work for some ideas for my blog name, and I received several - some were very creative, and some were hilarious and some were awful (you know who you are!). My favourite was from Regan, who had Googled Uganda's national anthem for some inspiration.
The music is very grand (link on the right if you're interested), and the lyrics are quite lovely - the last line became my blog title. Thanks Regan!
Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee,
We lay our future in thy hand.
United, free,
For liberty oh for
Together we'll always stand.
Oh Uganda! the land of freedom.
Our love and labour we give,
And with neighbours all
At our country's call
In peace and friendship we'll live.
Oh Uganda! the land that feeds us
By sun and fertile soil grown.
For our own dear land,
We'll always stand,
The Pearl of Africa's Crown.

I was recently offered the opportunity and honour to travel to Uganda and do some work with members of the Ugandan Public Service. It is a short visit - only a week - but I am extremely excited! I plan to chronicle my trip in this blog so co-workers, family, and friends can follow along.
Are you saying my suggestions were "awful"? I'm shocked and saddened :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI thought you might appreciate this video, shot by my former director when he was en route to Africa on a similar trip a year ago. He had been drinking. That's all I'll say. Except that it was 9 am.
