All of my life I have always wanted to be a solution to people's lives and that is the reason I took chemistry at the university so I can build one of the pharmaceutical plants in Uganda, this dream is not yet dead but when I left school I realized life after school is hard, when in school you always think life is a walk over and yes you are assured you have a Job but hell no that is not it . when I landed my first job life wasnot easy I was earning 100 dollars per month yet I was renting a house that cost me $54 there were no other options for me to stay while I do the job . Life got harder each day as a girl I had neccesities to buy like clothes, shoes to fit my marketing executive job.
Time reached when I could not even have $13 in my pockets just for reserve or for even helping a friend solve an immediate problem every single day I told my self that " am going to quit this job and sit home because it is not making sense any more " I applied for jobs every where but all in Vain, I prayed to God to help me overcome the brokness, it is even hard to say that every time some one gave a testimony how God has changed there lives I would cry to God and ask if he would do the same for me. He is a miracle working God just know late February this year I met @yohan2on at that time he was a stranger though he is a good friend now who gave a testimony of how he earned $280 in his first month. After the testimony, I got super excited and approached him where he helped me create an account, honestly ever since 5th March when my account was verified life has never been the same, with steemit I go to bed smiling

Am not saying this because I want to talk about my self but am saying this to show you how a testimony about steemit has changed a girl who was unhappy even in church to a happy lady who smiles every ever she goes. The point I want to drive home is every one lets stand up and promote steemit, lets tell the world what steemit has done for us I do believe everyone's life is changed here, lets go the communities and change people's lives there are many educated women and Men who are unemployed and by the way did I tell you in Uganda 60% of the population stop depending on their parents at the age of 35 . we all need a better life but this life will not be achieved if you don't give a helping hand to someone there is a saying that goes " if you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it " No one is going to make our lives better even the government cannot so we have to do this our selves .

why should every one engage in promoting steemit and by the way this is for all of us because together the good news will spread faster and there is no better way to make the world a better place but just to tell the world about steemit

1. It helps to improve the lives of the people in our country, In Uganda 3.4 million people are living in poverty and they can not even afford to buy 2 meals a day but really with the steem prices moving higher Isbd is enough to feed a family of 3 people just imagine if everyone in Uganda knows about steemit the people will not have to go hungry anymore. To add to that so many companies here in Uganda are owned by Indian investors and the pay for the workers is so minute I mean the highest paid employee in an Indian factory earns about 200 dollars and he is entitled to working 12 hrs a day but what can it do in this tight economy? that is why promo-Uganda team has decided to start promoting steemit to the people in the factories sincerely they are living a life of despair

2. It is bringing indepence amongst us , I remember before I got to know steemit every financial issue that would arise I would call my parents my mum once made a statement where she asked if one day she will also enjoy the fruits of educating her girl but the time she said that I had no hopes , I knew things would change but I didnot know how they will turn around . what makes me smile is that with steemit I can now atleast surprise my maama with a gift so many people want to achieve financial freedom but they do not know so lets be an answer to all the questions they have .

3. We can now think for ourselves you know education especially the African system has taught us to be job seekers instead of job creators , education has made us think we can not do it everything is written somewhere so we can not come up with new ideas but hey steemit is proving everything wrong, every useful thought makes sense here . We are paid for using our brains even at workplace there are ways of doing things so it is hard to come up with something so many people out there have great ideas and they can build the team so let us tell them.

lastly, if the world gets to know about steemit every one will leave a good life we shall be 1oo% on earth as we shall be in heaven too

am not applausing my self but lets also take the intiative to help the people that we bring into steemit atleast every time I create for some one an account , I still follow up this person to the point where I also direct them on how to write their first post you can look at posts for the new bies I have introduced here that include; @mwamin7, @olivegift, @kizzajosh they are doing well because I followed up so many have fear into them so we the old ones we need to push them some how any way I donot know how you people think about this .

Let me take this opportunity to thank @steem-ambassador(s), the community of @promo-steem , most especially @starkerz, and @stephenkendal for the intiative they are making promo- work easier , these people are awesome and thanks for being super heroes for the #promo-steem
