It's an afternoon like any other and two strange characters waltz into a rather ordinary neighborhood or community.
There is a crisis in the village or kyalo. There are sound coming from the put latrine and there are fears that someone a young lady perhaps has decided torpid herself of a newborn. The first young man volunteers to brave the months old stench to rescue the crying child. Before he does though, he moves through the crowd with as much tact as he can manage trying to collect an offering for himself to do the task.
The crowd is disinterested and quickly moves him on with a few choice words in the local dialect to demonstrate their displeasure.
The second man appears. He trims down to the bear essentials and down the hole he goes. After a few tense moments he emerges feline in hand. Soon one of the women in the crowd walks through the crowd and quickly manages to get him an offering of several Ugandan shilling-an equivalent of about 5 USD.
These two men and the response of the crowd demonstrates one thing. People here generally prefer those go just do the job. They have enough of a heart to donate once the work is done.
The first guy turned them off because he took the form of an opportunist. The second guy is more successful because he simply dives in. Those that gathered have enough sense to know the difference between the genuine start up and the upstart.
We hope that you will see the difference!
