Youth give in to charity at the Croak and Rhyme event

More than 120 golfers turned out in force to support the Charlie’s Trophy event at Dainton Park Golf Club, Ipplepen, raising more than £12,000 for various charities.

The charity golf day named after Firewatch CEO Martin Smith’s three and a half year old grandson Charlie Lawlor, was to raise awareness of Rubinstein – Taybi Syndrome (RTS).

The syndrome affects all areas of development.

The RTS support group will be the main beneficiary and will help fund the support groups bi-annual weekend meetings, where families with RTS members get together to both support each other and assist researchers in understanding the syndrome which effects just 1 in 125,000 babies born in the UK.

Social media; with its numerous platforms is what many Ugandans will say has turned youth into time wasters, but you definitely cannot say the same about one brilliant group that goes by the name; Forty Days over Forty Smiles. You can call them 40:40.

This group led by warm hearted Esther Kalenzi has used the platforms to mobilize support for the most underprivileged children in Kampala’s slums and beyond.

They were at it again last Friday night as they hosted a vast crowd of fun-loving youth at a charity event dubbed Croak and Rhyme at Uganda Museum. The event kicked off at around 8:00pm with each reveler present; parting with sh10, 000 for entrance.

As expected of every event that attracts many youth, there was much fun, entertainment, food and drinks for them to partake. Remember this was a charity event to raise money in support of 42 less privileged children at the Agape Children’s Home in Kibuli, a Kampala suburb.

British number one 10th in ATP world rankings

History is filled with people who have been at the top of their game only to do something colossally dumb — or illegal — leading to a mighty fall or even disgrace.

But instead of disappearing quietly after their 15 minutes of infamy, some one-time giants have come roaring back. For a select few, the second act is more successful than the first. What’s more, society has embraced and celebrated these comeback kings, their previous transgressions all but forgotten.

Why do humans have such short memories? Psychology has the answer. People love a comeback story, said Simon Webley, research director at London’s Institute of Business Ethics.

Caldwell chose to leave the company, but many of us only wish we could quit. In the UK, nearly seven of 10 employees say they work at their current jobs for the money, not because they love what they do, according to a survey by tutoring site Learncliki.com. Similarly, in the US, 70% of surveyed workers say they either loathe their jobs or are totally disengaged, according to a Gallup poll.

Disengagement drove discontent globally. In China, only 6% of employees say they are “engaged” by their jobs, according to a Gallup survey, whereas in Australia, just 22% of workers are happy with their current jobs and say they don’t want to change careers, according to a survey by Martin College.
