A day in the life… Apollinaire Karamaga

Apollinaire Karamaga is the Secretary General of Rwanda Red Cross (RRC). Below is his typical day at work;I wake up at 5:30a.m, refresh myself and put on my sports wear. I then head to a play ground just near my home, where I spend about 30 minutes exercising my body. However, by 7:45, I make sure I am at work. I check on my staff members to ensure their presence and settle in office. Checking on the internet is one of the first things I do in office. Depending on what is on the schedule, I decide on what to handle first. My work usually includes making reports on certain projects we deal with in the community, responding to correspondences and donors, advising as well making consultations, among others. Although I am sometimes taken up by certain activities during lunch time, I enjoy having it at mid-day. In the afternoon, I respond to our partners and during the evening I concentrate on office work. This is because there are no appointments at that time. I get home at 5p.m although it may depend on the work I have to accomplish. At around 8, I have supper and get to bed between 9 and 10p.m. Mugoyag@yahoo.com
