Personal statement:
“Physical Activity has always played a core role in life of mankind. Over time, sport has taken a forefront in development and now stands as an industry around which many world economic and political policies rotate. With many nations taking the route to develop sports, I hope to be among those involved in transforming Uganda into a centre stage for movement sciences in Africa. Oh yes, the starting point for this process is the formative stage of life when the young people are still at school, hence the need to enhance Physical Education.”
