New members of the Uganda forum, introduce yourself here

Hi all,

Newbie on the Uganda forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Uganda if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

I have been involved in community development programmes as a financial controller,  i have always acted as a treasurer in schools and clubs and also budget controller of partnerships where i belong now. this because of my skills such as numeracy, accounting, analytical, communication and trust

I am a primary school teacher here in Wakiso district. I have just joined the network a few days ago. I hope to gain alot from the forum in my struggle to achieve my goals. Thanks.

Hi everyone i am Alan Weller looking forward to come to work and live in Uganda one of the last unsoiled parts of the world.  I am looking to kick start my career in the Safari industry and i am looking for a placement either with pay or without.   To gain further practical experince to compliment my online course with Wildlife Campus.  I am also looking to start and complete my fgsa or the Ugandan version sometime in early 2015 or sooner funds allowing. .  I am currently free as i have just finished my consultant contract in Papua New Guinea where i spent sometime in the bush as a geologist Mineral Resource Authority of Papua New Guinea as a Geological Data base Specialists.  Ask for CV.  I have also worked in Mozambique and spent time in South Africa and last two years time in Zimbabwe and botswana.  I am currently spending my time between zim and the uk. I have been studying wildlife most of my life and hope to make wildlife films one day.  Got the equipment need the job or chance (for you safari guys out there take me on to film trips) to use it.

I hope to hear from you soon in regards to my blog.   I am also an ex soldier and was a marksman so have also had experience with firearms so poachers beware.   I have spent a  time in the bush both png and africa.  Last week i was lucky enough to test my knowledge in the bush near Victoria Falls when i encountered a small herd of elephants.  Nearly walked into the herd in dense bush but got a warning rumble and was smart enough to back away slowly until i was sure they were relaxed. I spent an hr observing them from deep bush so as not disturb them.  This experience and that of many more over the years just decided me this is where i should be for rest of my life.  This has been my dream from childhood but fate kept me away until now. 

So if you need a geologist a geological database specialist contact me on [email protected] or a enthusiastic guy (born to be on Safari) then drop me  a line.  Have also been a carpenter kitchen fitter and i am a qualified Diver can drive almost any vehicle.
   
looking forward to joining you guys over there.
Sorry for prattling on
Alan

Hi All. My name is Patience. I'm new to the group, but not that new to Uganda anymore. I moved to Uganda from the UK in August 2013. I'm originally from Zimbabwe. I work for an organisation which designs and manufactures wheelchairs which are suitable for less resourced parts of the world. I'm currently working on a project to set up 4 wheelchair services within Uganda, as well as providing support for parents of children with cerebral palsy.

Because I live outside Kampala (Mukono), and I'm always traveling for work, I haven't had a chance to make many friends yet. Hopefully I will be able to meet some people through this group.

hi there.....welcome to the group........how are you?????
