My Profile

My name is Brian Ssennoga.
I am very passionate about 2 things; ICT Innovations and Open Source Software. I express my passions through Training and Educating. So at EACOSS, I, together with massively experienced Trainers, share and deliver Open Source concepts to users and enthusiasts alike.
At UCH, I like to see the fascination on the face of a health worker when you use simple innovations like PDAs to make their work easier and to help them read an email, right at the lowest health unit 500Km from Kampala.
I believe we have everything we need to make this world a better place for all of us. I believe there is enough water and space for us all. I believe there is, among us, the brightest people this planet has ever seen, and communities and networks should exist to build every imaginable bridge for a Canadian in Vancouver and a Kikuyu in Kisumu to live as humans, with no hold at all.
I believe in Love and sharing, and that the blood and oxygen needed in a cold Russian Village is equally important in the Kalahari.
I also believe in empowering people. In building Confidence and Capacity, in breaking dependence and fostering Interdependence. I believe in you and I holding hands and moving forward together.
