He sends money here and we have managed to develop this facility that will live long even after us,\u201d explained Othieno before adding that; \u201cThe plan is big because it is supposed to be a 3 storied building and Obbo has set up a strategy of working there for at least 10 years in order to achieve his dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe make sure that the money is managed well so that when he comes back, he will appreciate whatever is on ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the challenges, Othieno says it\u2019s very tricky in that its capital intensive and requires a lot of creativity to minimize costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny challenge that comes we try to make sure we minimize and get over it in a very creative way but it\u2019s very challenging since the school is still incomplete to the desired level and standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor this year we have a budget close to Shs50million to do the finishing and we must raise it because it\u2019s Obbo\u2019s target for this year. \u00a0As he works, he has to keep sending money on a monthly basis as we try to do whatever little that can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Othieno, the school for the first year 2017 was able to sit 7 candidates for PLE and 5 candidates came in division one with the best getting aggregate 6, the rest in division two with aggregate 14.<\/p>\n<p>Othieno encourages parents to bring their kids to the school since they are improving day by day and affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Othieno says he works with his brother Obbo mainly in terms of financial management, Strategy and Plan setting.<\/p>\n<p>The two talk on a daily basis for purposes of planning and transparency.<\/p>\n<p>He believes that if they put in extra effort to the project of 10 years, they can achieve it within 5 five years.<\/p>\n<p>MEC Finance director Fred Keitongo appreciated the two brothers and encouraged every young Ugandan who goes to work abroad through his company (MEC) to have a vision written down on the paper before they fly out of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Keitongo also encouraged parents to be cautious of their children\u2019s funds and plan for them as they send in their money from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Keitongo handed over Shs1million as contribution to Obbo\u2019s school project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benon Kunywana Aspires to Become Bujuko\u2019s Strong Land Lord<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Benon Kunywana,30 left Uganda in 2014 to go and work as a security guard in Abu Dhabi under Securi Guard Middle East Company and this was after he heard heard an advert on radio and TV stations.<\/p>\n<p>Kunywana earns a monthly salary of 3400dirham which is equivalent to Shs3.4million that he has since saved to come back in his first vacation and put up spacious rental houses in Bujuuko town Wakiso district.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kunywana, it wouldn\u2019t have been that easy for an ordinary boy like him by then to fly abroad for work.<\/p>\n<p>He hails MEC for helping many young Ugandans and stressed that they should ignore wrong information that things are impossible once one gets into United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t need guns to do security guard jobs in the United Arab Emirates and in fact it\u2019s more of customer care and we are trained right away when we reach there on how to do our jobs,\u201d Kunywana says before revealing that he acquired a certificate from the National Security Institute of UAE in which he was the best student in his class.<\/p>\n<p>Ugandans have always emerged the best performers even at work among other countries like Nepal, Philippines, Saudi Arabia and many more.<\/p>\n<p>Kunywana currently has a plot of land in Bujuuko town on which he has established a structure with four rental units.<\/p>\n<p>The structure is in its last stage of completion and

Industrial Fine Art.<\/p>\n<p>However, one year down the road Eddy failed to get a job after campus and it\u2019s at this point that his mum overheard Middle East Consultants advertising jobs abroad on radio but was discouraged by friends who told her that those jobs were fake and being advertised by conmen.<\/p>\n<p>She says, she could not stand seeing her son seated at home with no job so she advised her son to go to Muyenga and give it a try.<\/p>\n<p>Eddy went to Muyenga and got all details.<\/p>\n<p>The mum rushed to Opportunity Bank and secured a loan of Shs5million to be repaid in one year and they used the money to send Eddy to Abu Dhabi where he works as a security guard.<\/p>\n<p>On reaching in the United Arab Emirates, Eddy did not forget the situation back home so he immediately started sending money home and the mum bought a plot of land in Buloba-Kilinda at Shs15million.<\/p>\n<p>With hard work, Eddy sent more money home which was used to put up a residential house.<\/p>\n<p>Eddy\u2019s mum says that the project became slow recently and went to Middle East to seek for assistance since he had watched clips on TV of Middle East Consultants directors visiting and supporting projects of their former candidates.<\/p>\n<p>On their visit to Eddy\u2019s home, Middle East Consultants Finance Director Fred Keitongo contributed Shs1million towards completion of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Keitongo thanked Eddy\u2019s mum for supporting his son\u2019s vision and being a strong lady to implement his son\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<p>Keitongo also encouraged other parents to support their children who are working abroad so that they can put their money to good use.<\/p>\n<p>Eddy\u2019s mum called upon all parents to take their children to Middle East Consultants for job opportunities abroad and advised youth not to undermine jobs but to take on any opportunity available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kigula Eric Left Teaching Job for Abu Dhabi Supervision

by Middle East Consultants says he first went to work as a security guard thinking he will use a gun only to reach there and find that it was actually a different story because the job is to welcome
