Dear all ,
We at Gabula Atudde ,Mukono learnt with deep sorrow the death of Anastasia
.Her brave venture into ICT has graetly inspired one of our own Namwandu
Luyombya Chrstina (81) and of course many athers of ripe years (+ 50,60,70)
. We now know ICT literacy is never too late.That gives us hope and
confidence to continue net working with all of you out there as our
partners. Through WOUGNET ,Gabula Atudde has aqcuired internet connectivity
for a whole year 2009 !
We take this opportunity to wish all of you safe festivities and  2009 of
proactively increased ICT avtivities.
