“It was a Saturday and I just decided to go for the retreat as I didn’t have any other plans for the day. I am glad I made that decision to attend because I was able to meet her. That day changed my life in a special way,” Wilber says.

She told me she her name, Mary Kusiima and I also found out that we were from the same district, Bushenyi.

At the time, Wilber was already working while Mary was still at the university studying for her degree in Human Resource Management.
