Sickness and pain brought us closer

Joseph Ssemakula and Josephine Watera met at Makerere University in 2004 at the library.

“One weekend, I went to the School of Education library and sat on the same table with Joseph. He had a book on management studies and I picked interest in reading it,” Josephine recalls.

The two became friends over books, and Joseph introduced her to a management forum that would meet every Thursday.

“We would attend the meeting, listen to different presentations together and our friendship grew as we talked about our takeaways,” Josephine says.
