Meeting the Queen......

I was not going to put anything on my blog, reason! Am so busy.

Jaybabe you’re the other reason I had to. ….loI…

I was one of the journalists accredited by the commonwealth communication body to cover the commonwealth conference here in Kampala.

This has given me a lot of exposure. The Serena conference centre where the commonwealth summit is taking place is just opposite the hotel where Iam.

This hotel called the imperial royal is extremely classic. The media centre where all journalist converge is beyond my description…just let me try..ok.

There are around one thousand laptops, approximately seven hundred journalists, a business centre where Commonwealth business press releases are placed, an ICT and telephony help dest, speakers,free printers, big screens, a projector where we can see what’s going on, speeches are re-played for us. Writing stories is going on as usual..


Meeting the queen has not changed me at all, I thought I would feel big but I am still Geraaaaald…..lol.
Today she was officially opening the commonwealth summit. Her speech was so touching; she was calm with a soft down voice. She talked of love, Peace and the need to transform rural communities.

She talked of respecting differences and promoting understanding. This touched my soul, my heart and with no minute I was feeling her voice in me.

How many among you accept your neighbors difference? You Jaybabe??? Lol…

Then she said, “we need to treat others the way we would like to be treated.”

I will put some pix for u here..
