The Uganda Diaspora Network is a forum aimed at bringing together Ugandans who live and work abroad by celebrating their contributions overseas and also encouraging them to give of their time, talents, ideas and expertise whilst inspiring the next generation of Ugandan leaders. Every year the Ugandan Diaspora Network will organize an annual Social Networking Gala and will also produce a quarterly publication highlighting the successes of the various Ugandans residing overseas. Please send us those inspirational stories and philanthropic work involving Ugandans abroad. We shall share these stories using this platform that is rapidly growing and expanding. The Next Diaspora Social Networking Gala will be Held on 30th December 2016 at The Kampala Serena Hotel.
Guys, Come back home. Its safe, developing faster and most importantly the feeling of being home. I hate waking up and the sight out is of a colonialist. Cheers.
ul probably have to come home eventually, but not ryt now. @paul, yes its has been developing pretty fast, but they are probably better off there anyway given their success. i just really wish some of us down here didnt have to wait to see these people’s success stories on VOA. just wish the message cld get more personal, on local TV.
Thank you for sharing your stories. Uconn Connecticut
