Hello,

Briefly about myself,

I am a Ugandan male, self-driven, motivated and interested in personal growth and development in all aspects of life including social, economic, interpersonal and professional growth. I love my family so much as well as engaging in business. Professionally, I am interested in delivering quality healthcare and I believe in the future I will be able to establish a quality ensuring health facility. I like soccer so much, being a Bayern Munich and German National team fan. I love engaging in athletics as well as adventuring. My Facebook name is Busi Mohbyl and on Twitter, I can be found at @busimohbyl.

As of now, I am really enjoying Lusaka for the people here are hospitable and loving. The weather is cool. The learning is good as the clinical instructors at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) are so much willing to teach and guide us. I am really so much privileged to have such an opportunity, thank you GEMx.

Businge Alinaitwe.

The cyclical patterns of audacious curiosity and dogged determination have constituted the last two decades of this maze, I call my life. For an African girl who has been raised in deprivation of opportunities to dream big as well as bring her dreams to life, it is my pleasure to confidently say it is never about society but arduous nature of the person in you. This get-up-and-go has further driven me to ends many never thought I could stretch. Pursuing the Nursing profession has unbolted all doors to my career goals. My interest in Nursing research and teaching is growing untamable as well.  I enjoy watching soccer, teaching and singing is my most treasured hobby. Coming from a relatively smaller highly populated country (Uganda), my experience in Lusaka (Zambia) has been a totally different one. Being a large country with a relatively smaller population, I have met a number of very warm and welcoming people who are willing to spare time to teach us as well as make us feel at home. Despite the comparatively cold weather, Lusaka has been a wonderful discovery in my life. It has been wonderful experiencing a different culture while learning from another health care system as well as expanding my career network and professional aptitude.
