The 'son' of Kasaka

Born and raised in Kasaka to poor, semi-literate parents, Makula Musoke grasps all opportunities available to him to leave his birthplace, a little-known village in Uganda, to pursue education in the capital city. Having been told from a young age that he is the "hope" of the village, Makula dreams of developing his birthplace into an economically thriving centre. After earning a bachelor's degree in economics, he succeeds in both marketing and farming. Circumstances later force him to emigrate to Canada, where, after a period of struggle, he becomes vice president of a successful real estate company in Toronto, Ontario. A decade later, however, Makula faces economic hardship that makes him long to return to Kasaka and to his original dream ... to achieve his mission of developing the village of his birth.
