  • Comm-UNITY! | Season 12| Episode 7 | Where Play Meets Purpose

    Welcome to a special episode of “Generous Movers” where we dive into the world of Qweshunga, a realm where play intertwines with purpose. Our guide on this journey is none other than the heartwarming Penelope Sanyu - Chief Executive Officer at Femme Forte Uganda and Team Leader – Qweshunga, a beacon of love, generosity, and most importantly, play.

    Penelope Sanyu’s creation, Qweshunga, is her invitation to us all to reconnect with our inner child that has been tucked away in the corners of adulthood. This isn’t your everyday chit-chat about play. Penelope Sanyu brings to the table a deep understanding:

    “Adults who embrace play are those who’ve managed to keep their inner child alive and kicking. By letting this youthful spirit shine, adults can open up a world of enhanced communication, innovative problem-solving, limitless creativity, and a generous spirit - all while having a blast!”_ Penelope Sanyu

    Here’s where it gets interesting. Penelope Sanyu dares us to rethink our entire culture of play. Come along as she guides us on an exploration of our authentic selves and helps us inject a dose of purpose and play into our existence.

    Step into a space where generosity and play are two sides of the same coin!

    Remember we don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

      Hands up! Turn around! Let’s dance!

      Sukuma is a Swahili word that means push, and in this episode of Generous Movers, we learn from Abdul about

      Abdul takes us on an amazing journey of how he took on the art of dance and how it has in turn given him purpose.

    • Comm-UNITY! | Season 12| Episode 5 | A stellar call to promote health

      You have probably heard it said, “Donate blood and be a hero in someone’s life.” 

      With the current trends in the health sector, it's undeniable

      that any amount of blood can not only save the day but lives! 

       

      In this episode of Generous Movers, our guest is a she-ro

      who has dared to wrestle with death by finding solutions to the silent question that follows when the medics say, 'There is no blood!' 

      Stella Kamakune, who playfully refers to herself as 'God's favorite daughter,' reflects on her initial experiences with generosity, the motivation that propelled her to embark on her journey of transforming lives, and the innovative approaches she's harnessed through her involvement in athletics to champion various social causes.

      Through initiatives like organizing blood donation drives and advocating for autism awareness, Stella introduces a fresh perspective on giving. Her actions not only reignite

      our inherent spirit of generosity but also broaden our awareness of the abundant opportunities for giving that await us, all while prioritizing good health.
