STORYLINE:
For nurse Winnie Katwesigye, working with Uganda’s elderly is God’s work.

In her job with the Reach One Touch One Ministries, Katwesigye travels up into the mountains to the villages where these often neglected elders live.

A Boda Boda motorcycle taxi takes her as far as it can go. The rest of the way, she walks.

"During my secondary school, I would love to see nurses, the work they would do," she says.
