NTV news anchor Faridah Nakazibwe
and KFM D’Mighty breakfast show host Brian Mulondo have been selected to host
the grand opening Dinner Gala during the Uganda Festival in Washington DC in
August.
The festival, also christened
summer’s Ultimate event is gonna take place this year from August 31- September
3 at Gaylord National Resort- National Harbor, in Washington DC. It is
organized by Ugandans in the diaspora under their umbrella body UNAA Causes.
According to Nakazibwe, her invite
for the festival in a time he desired for it.
“The distance is no more, let's meet
in Washington this year. I am looking forward to profiling an available
Ugandan, free to share their story of the hustle, bustle, challenges, joys and
realities of living away from home. I’m ready for whoever is,” she said.
“This is chance for me to meet and
interact with the many Ugandans in the diaspora who have been in touch with me
and wondering how we can help our people back home,” she added.
Nakazibwe joins at the time when
UNAA Causes is consolidating the entrepreneurship club, which aims at pooling
resources to set up a restaurant chain in USA among other business projections.
The diaspora association is also
running a clean water benefit fund where proceeds of the festival and channeled
into providing safe and clean water to Ugandans back home. According to
Nakazibwe, this is compatible with the dream she has been cooking for years and
roles she wants to play within her community in Uganda.
“This is most definitely a
privilege, an honor, opportunity to help me further push a dream I have been
cooking for some years. It will open doors for me as a woman who has been
helping uplift life from the backyard. As a host of a real life show, many
people have run to me for solutions. I have tried to help but with limited
resources. I decided to start a foundation with an aim to uplift, motivate,
inspire, counsel and empower especially the less privileged. It is a work in
progress and I believe my invite to UNNA couldn't have come at a better time than
this.”
Also expected at the festival are;
Crystal Newman, NTV’s Betinah Tianah, Fashionistas Fatumah Nakaziba, Santa Anzo
among others.
Ugandan artistes; Afrigo Bang,
Weasel, Fille Mutoni, Lydia Jazmine, Geo Steady, Chris Evans and Isiah Katumwa,
