“We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.” ―Orison Swett Marden.
Such a philosophy can only be told by kind people in whom lobbying for their communities in hard and good times fills their souls. The persons who would be an oasis in a desert, ray of light in darkness and a drop of water in a furnace.
Ambrose Byamugisha is mores a kind of person who cannot settle for less in regards to extending charities to communities around him.
Mr Byamugisha, MP hopeful for Ruhinda County in Mitooma district (NRM), has through his organization of Ambrosoli Consult Uganda Limited donated food relief and other household items such as laundry soap to support students from Mitooma district who are stranded in hostels within Kampala and other neighboring areas.
