THE PRINCIPLE OF FRIENDSHIP The Core of Rotary In these felicitations on being installed as the President of the Rotaract Club of Rubaga, allow me to take a reminiscing journey back to 15th December 2020 on the day I was inducted into the Rotaract Club of Rubaga after mentorship of around 7 months. I can’t forget how one day in June 2020, in the middle of the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic I picked up my phone to call my Old Boy Namilyango College and then the President Elect of the Rotaract Club of Makindye, Denis Sentongo, to tell him how I had made up my mind to join Rotaract after spending some years watching his statuses on WhatsAPP. I precisely told him that I wanted a join a club around Rubaga division to align with where I was staying at the time. He connected me to the then the outgoing president of the Rotaract Club of Rubaga, James Mulindwa and that is how is became a guest of the Rotaract Club of Rubaga and later a Rotaractor under the mentorship of Sharon Mukoda and the reign of Past President Darious Nkwasibwe
