Uganda New England Society-UGNEWSOC


BACKGROUND

WHY:
Uganda New England Society is a platform for you and me. You do need to figure out USA, your life and that of your loved one/s. We are founded for that purpose.

WHERE:
We have our headquarters in Massachusetts. We are located at 69 Lowell Street, Malden, MA 02148. 

WHAT:
Many motivations compel humans to found new societies and settlements but the ones that stand out firmly are: belief in the potential for self determination and development; achieving the goal of happiness through good relations; contribution to progress and; enjoyment of the divinely made world.

THE REALITY:
New England is a testament of those compulsions. Self determination, formation of associations, pursuance of happiness and freedom to express views were the pillars that made New England. They are the same pillars on which development is based. They are the same pillars that make new beginnings bear fruits. Our fore-parents came from England in 1620. They settled and founded New England. New England is composed of: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. These states make up the northeastern region of USA. As early as 1950's People from Uganda have come to New England in various ways. 


STATEMENT OF BELIEF:
Many have become American citizens or are on the paths to become Americans. They have embraced the identity and culture: belief that humans have potential for self determination; formation of associations; pursuance of happiness and; freedom to express one’s views. It is hoped that Uganda-New England Society will tap into this and will further entrench that identity and culture. While many members may be Americans and others have settled, we also do not want to divest ourselves from the fact we are of Ugandan extract or we have made friends with persons we found in USA or any part of the world as a result of meeting in USA or having been in USA. We take this as both a privilege and responsibility to appreciate the historical roots in form of origins and context.  By 2013, there are many persons of Ugandan extract living in New England. This society is a platform through which we want to define that identity, improve on ourselves and contribute to the US of A.
