To seniors btw, I have a crop of very competent advocates-to-be waiting to be admitted to the bar this November.
These are people I can comfortably vouch for their determination, hardwork and competence having passed through my hands within my tutelage program.
If in need of this, kindly dm me.
(Needless to say, I am not charging any fee for the same. )

I am a living testimony of the goodness of God in as far as my academic journey is concerned. I have benefited from the generosity of many through different organizations.
I would have dropped out of medical school had it not been for a scholarship from statehouse Uganda.
I wouldn’t have done master’s in ophthalmology had it not been for a scholarship from Sightsavers @Sightsavers
I wouldn’t have been able to study in LSHTM had it not been for commonwealth shared scholarships.
And now as I prepare to go for a fellowship in India, I know that I wouldn’t have afforded anything had it not been for a scholarship from Fred Hollows Foundation and London school.
I’m full of gratitude 🙏

Protect your vision before it's too late! Don't let #Glaucoma, the silent thief of vision, steal your sight. With no cure, early detection and treatment are crucial. Don't become another statistic, get your eyes checked today! #WorldGlaucomaWeek2023
Regular eye screening can help detect and hence treat glaucoma in its early stages. Join us tomorrow for free eye screening and a processional walk at the KNH Information Center grounds.
