"Apuuli" was in Uganda from July 1991-July 1993 and it completely changed my life
My name, Apuuli, comes from the Batooro of Western Uganda. It is a pet-name used in greeting. I am told it means "a young man." It was given to me when I was a Peace Corps volunteer. I was in Uganda from July 1991-July 1993 and it completely changed my life.
Since returning home from Uganda, I have set my life on a course to commit myself to Africa. I have received second Masters degree in African Studies at UCLA, majoring in Political Science, minoring in Urban Planning. I am starting several projects based in Uganda or East Africa generally, though one is expected to cover the entire continent fairly shortly. (see Business Ventures ) including an ambitious development program... WCDP.
This is me on a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, in 1999.

My interest in philosophy includes studies in both Eastern and Western Philosophy and Religions. In particular, I am interested in Taoism. I have recently become a member of the Agape International Center of Truth here in Los Angeles, which is a member of the United Church of Religious Science. I am also working on a book called "The Relativity of Being: Reflections of a Lonely Soul".
Business: JOROBI Enterprises, Ltd (U) is a company jointly owned with my Ugandan counterpart, Robert Nabanyumya. We are generally interested in enterprises that will promote Uganda and the development of Uganda's people. We are looking into education at all levels, export industries, and private Ugandan Investment in general.
