Red Cross Volunteers are engaged in youth programmes, first aid, ambulance services, mountain rescue, telephone help-lines, disaster management, support for refuges and internally displaced people, health campaigns, advocacy and a myriad of other services with the aim of improving the lives of the vulnerable in communities.

Volunteer work is different from paid work. Volunteering has it’s own unique qualities:

• Volunteers have a strong personal motivation
• Volunteers work part-time

Most people only volunteer a few hours each week. Therefore, volunteering can be combined with any occupation and can continue for many years.

• Red Cross Volunteers are local

They are part of the community. Volunteers know the needs and resources in the community, because they are already there.

Mukisa who was a former lover of  Nampijja allegedly took poison after attacking her and her two children.

Mukisa passed on last night at Mulago Referral Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit where he has been under tight guard in hospital after the police arrested him as prime suspect in the attack on Nampijja and two other people, Nampijja’s niece, Shakira Namutebi and Harriet Kisaakye, a housemaid on Saturday night, January 28^th  at their home in Kitebi, a Kampala suburb.

Mukisa allegedly used a machete and cut Nampijja as she moved out of her car at home and later used the same tool to hack the two girls who came to her rescue leaving them unconscious to the rescue of the neighbors who heard the screams and rushed them to Rubaga Hospital from where they were referred to Case Hospital.

police the next day picked Mukisa from SB Lodge along Salaama Road unconscious after he allegedly took poison, rushed to Mulago Hospital and admitted in the Intensive care Unit. He has never recovered till he met his death.

Speaking to journalists, police publicist for Kampala metropolitan, Idi Ibin Senkumbi said Mukisa’s death won’t stop the file since the victims haven’t made statement with police indicating that he was the only suspect.

Senkumbi says what the victims will tell them upon recovery will inform them of the next step, claiming that there could be other suspects.

When Denis Okema returned home with his family, his house was wide open with no trace of his property, save for rolls of toilet pepper.

Like he was possessed Okema rushed to neighbours and shouted ‘my house has been swept clean and all the property stolen.’

The neighbours also came and checked his house and found it empty. Okema has now reported the matter to the area police post and as usual the force is hunting for the thugs. The police are yet to nab the people who stole Okema’s property.
