Ranting and raving

This is rather off topic but I must or I will bust. We leave for Dubai in about 2 weeks and our government is yet to acknowledge us. What!? Surely not! Oh, yes. We are still waiting for the government to appreciate our feat but we are not holding our breaths: if we do, we may suffocate. Our national football team won a small regional trophy the other day (CECAFA cup) and they got 30 million Uganda shillings from the MPs as well as an invite for a state dinner. We qualified for the world cup and we got … nothing. Government has not even stepped in to sponsor us for the world cup. Not a shilling has come our way. Ok, I know rugby is not a mainstream sport, it is not as popular as football and to make matters worse we are women but surely we deserve better? We are extremely fortunate that we have ICEMARK: without their sponsorship we would not have been able to accomplish even half of what we have done so far. Kudos to you ICEMARK and for all those who have supported and/or are supporting us in one way or another – THANK YOU!
