Collaboration Over Competition - With Rotary Club of Upper Kololo
THE UK-DONS! UNITING FOR WELLNESS
Collaboration between the Rotary Clubs of Upper Kololo (aka UK) and Kyadondo (aka Dons).
T his is a collaboration between the Rotary Clubs of Upper Kololo (aka UK) and Kyadondo (aka Dons). It was formed in the spirit of one of DG Geofrey Kitakule’s goals of having more unity amongst the clubs in the District. On the evening of Friday, 8th of August, at the famous RC Upper Kololo kimeza at Roza Dymz Lounge, the idea of a joint Wellness fellowship was conceived. Typically, over a drink, Unity President Filbert Kinyanda, RC Kyadondo President Stella Arako and Club Administrator Elizabeth Kyomugisha thought; why not collaborate around a common interest- fitness and wellness! President Filbert had been an ardent hasher before his schedule got suffocated with work; Elizabeth had been a spinner and walker, while Stella is a well known wellness coach. As the whiskey went down, the idea gained momentum and traction. By 8pm that evening, a Whatapp group was created to discuss the idea. Wednesday was chosen as the day on which these proposed activities would take place, taking into consideration our club meeting dates and a name created, UK-Kyaddy. After several whatsapp brain storming sessions, a flyer was ready to go out.
After several false starts, the first walk was held starting at Omera Restaurant at Lugogo. The first walk had only 7 people including a member Zahara from D9214, Andrew Tumusiime from RC Kampala Ssese, Florence a Don and a non Rotarian Alice Gitta. We were “flagged off” by Hope Creator President Joyce Sadoori Odoki who unfortunately was engaged with District duties but she came through to cheer us on which was really heartwarming. Our walk took us to the Summit of Kololo and back to Omera where a sumptuous spread of healthy refreshments including fruits, tea with some cinnamon, gnuts and water awaited us. After stretching, we settled down to connect with one another as we partook of our meal which only cost us Ugx 20,000 per head. After this we left at leisure (at least some of us anyway) happy and excited about the next walks ahead of us. We look forward to more Rotarians, Rotaractors and friends of rotary joining us as we build a culture of health, wellness and fitness while accomplishing DG
