“Today I feel a bit dizzy and tired, maybe because of the previous fun-filled Saturday. I woke up very early, to prepare for my 9 o’clock service at St. Francis. The preacher continues his series on the topic: “the fear of the lord” and today he tackles the subject of “the meaning of success”.

He tells us that success is not just a posh car, a big house, and a juicy job, but the fear of the lord! “How relieving” I thought.

Mr. Bernard Sabiti

The service ends. Outside the chapel I find multitudes of guys we completed the course together, and I am amazed after learning that most of them are still unemployed, and “stay around”. I am refreshed by the fact that “I am not the only one”.”

With permission from Mr. Bernard Sabiti, we are serializing and publishing selected episodes from his column “A Job Seeker’s Diary” that was first published in a national newspaper. Whereas, Mr. Sabiti is now a very successful consultant, we decided to share and to publish episodes from his column on our website because they are directly relevant to our overall goal of “building healthy communities” through “engaging in educational and scientific activities to stimulate the development, dissemination and widespread application of technologies suitable and adaptable to the social, cultural and economic conditions of developing countries. Mr. Sabiti’s life story, as a whole, is the more relevant to us, since there seems to be nothing he has not done, innovating to better his lot and to contribute to the bettering of life for his wider communities. Read more here.
