Dear Nalongo Juliet Hitimana, we already miss you. You inspired many of us and we sincerely admit that the resilience many of us have did not fall from trees, but it was nurtured and shaped by Heroines like you. When the bar of kidney health was still low in Uganda, you dearly nursed your husband all through peritoneal dialysis (UKPSSO late Board Chairperson Dr. Charles Hitimana) and even fearlessly gave him your precious kidney in your late 50s. You have been a Mentor, role model and Coach to many of us. A lot has definitely fallen apart with your demise not to mention Papa Dr. Charles Hitimana. Heavenly Father, pliz hold up the centre to still firmly hold in Jesus"s name. Rest in peace UKPSSO Heroine. Clear skies and green Heavens dear Maama.

The Nurse of the Year 2023 is already awarded, but I want to nominate *My Nurse of the year 2024 in advance. She is the Dialysis Nursing Team at Mulago hospital.* These ladies and men are some of the most hard-working and professional Ugandans you may ever come across. At their desks by midnight, they let the first set of over 30 patients in around 1 am, settle them down, and at about 2 am, start the machines one by one, with speed, empathy, and skill all combined. It is a forest of machines here with a nurse going from one to the next until all are connected and in the monitoring phase. About 8 a.m., they begin round two and then the third of these 4 hour rounds Monday to Saturday. It is incredible what this group of nurses do. Please join me to thank and appreciate Nursing Officers: Moses Odongo, Namugga Annie, Waiswa..

Thank you so much dear Prof D.K Agarwal for travelling all the way from New Delhi India to make follow up on our dear kidney transplant recipients. The over 100 kidney transplant recipients and their donors you handled do not take your gesture of affection for granted and not even us as an institution. Thank you so much dear Papa for the literature, capacity building session and all forms of support to us as an institution. We are so grateful to you dear Papa and Apollo hospital New Delhi India.

In Australia arleady taking part in the world transplant recipients and donors games!!!! Raising the Ugandan banner of kidney care in Uganda!!! Our kidney transplant recipients and donors representing Uganda in Australia for the World Transplant Games. We competed in athletics, football, table tennis, cycling, and darts. We won three gold medals and one bronze medal! We are grateful to the Almighty God and everyone who gave us a hand to celebrate the gift of life. Our participation in the global games for transplant recipients and donors is a demonstration of the fact that there's more potential to be unleashed following fragility associated with dialysis prior to transplant and the transplant itself. Ebenezer!!!
