BAGALAMA IVAN-WASSWA was born on the 5th date of September 1979 at Makindye Luwafu village; I am a son of Mr. Balamaga Martin and Lovinsa Balamaga. I started my education carrier in the year 1986 while living with my two beloved parents but later on in the year 1989 my father went missing then I and my four brothers and three sisters plus my mother met our turning point of struggling for a living since our mother was a house wife who couldn’t do anything for sustainability since her husband was the bread winner by then. I had reached primary five and that’s where I started looking for my own school fees so that my education carrier keeps moving I became a street vender when I was 10years old in the class of primary four (P.4) and that’s when I was introduced to self-sustainability by fellow street survivors through hawking movable items like t-shirts and other domestic items as I kept mastering and learning more business strategies for a living through involving myself with group working under those people who had   standing some small businesses by learning on them to acquire business knowledge around Nakasero market where I did all sorts of jobs since I didn’t have any experience of doing any business but my ultimate goal was looking for education money which I obtain through a number of hands of patriotic people who could give me something to do in my potential which helped me to study up to university and acquired a bachelors degree of science in civil engineering in the year 2005 and because I knew that jobs were scours to get in my country, for me I was studying to work not to look for jobs since I had mastered  business knowledge and experience behind my education carrier I continued and entered into agriculture  and persisted in growing of different crops until in 2015 I specialized in one seasonal crop known as cassava by the help of national agricultural research organization  (NARO) for improved varieties of cassava crop and now I am a well-known cassava farmer in Uganda who has sensitized my country bout the benefits of agricultural business in accordance to wealth creation at individual level by filming so many documentaries and media shows to emphasize agriculture as a route of self-sustainability. In addition to transformation of livelihoods in the year 2019 I started writing inspirational books as an additional material for self-beliefs by the use of a pen and my first book was titled THE INDEPENDENT LIFE AMIDST CRISIS, overcoming challenges and living a victorious life which was approved and published in 2021 after transforming many lives by sharing it through initiatives when it was still under pen written. This book intervened and transformed many people more so those who had lost altitude to their lives when covid-19 pandemic hit the globe. This book helped people to sustain themselves by doing something that add value around their homestead to make their lives more meaningful as the struggle to fight covid-19 pandemic continued until the entire globe survived it. Little did I know that the talent of writing had just began I came up with another edition called THE GOOD LIFE AND MONEY practical tools for your financial success, which aimed at teaching personal financial skills, saving for investment and retirement, money principles and behaviors, wrong-doings of money and miss-use amidst self-discipline in the understanding of money. As the introduction of new improved technologies went on the rise many people especially teenagers started discovering many things and some unnecessary to them both in schools and the community the rate of crimes rapidly increased the world over but when all findings shows the effect as mental disorder caused by increasing use of drugs and substances in every community due to stress, anxiety at work places in adulthoods then excitement and peer pressure, curiosity amongst young people, which has come up with dare consequences of addiction which is now steadily eating at society with disastrous effects which most people thought before that it was only affecting poverty stricken places yet now it’s in every environment without segregating demographic class, status or home. With all these challenges I had no alternative of intervention since many people have little knowledge about the journey of addiction God led me to come up with a solution and I decided to pen down an edition as an antidote for addiction in general and how to treat the addiction problem, and advice to care givers with those battling with addiction of any kind and this diagnosing tool is a book called ADDICTION: THE SILLENT KILLER Navigating addictions to save the community, which was approved by Ugandan National curriculum Development Center (NCDC) as an additional reference material to be taught in secondary schools, higher institutions of learning and general public with the aim of creating more awareness about the harm of drug addiction and other substances like alcohol in order to have a world-free mental disorders and illness and to have better living environment and health citizens world over.
