The Kaddu Wasswa Archive : a visual biography

We cite from the COVER the text by Andrea Stultiens:
"Kaddu Wasswa John was born in 1933 at Nangwa village near Mukono Town, Uganda. When he was seventeen his mother was very sick and dying, and his family failed to raise his school fees. Kaddu dropped out of school in the 2nd term of junior 2. After that he managed to develop himself into (in a more or less chronological order) office messenger, horticultural apprentice, tracer/trainee for the geological survey department, assistant manager, Uganda bookshop employee, founder of the first youth club in Uganda, youth leader, bank clerk, student in social work, depot clerk at Esso Standard East Africa Ltd., British American Insurance Ltd. employee, grocery and service (home cleaning) shop owner, fundraiser, novelist and writer of drama and social critique, usher at an English (state) wedding, treasurer of Jinja Rotary Club, pioneer for a vocational training centre in Njeru, civic leader in Ngogwe, Nyenga and Njeru town councils, inventor and producer of the revolutionary curry powder Ntula Spices, rural community educator and activist on human rights, public health, food security and environmental issues. He lived through colonial times, the regimes of Obote and Amin, was the father of eighteen, of whom ten died of AIDS .
Some years ago, when on the verge of losing his passion for education and development, he was 'discovered' by his grandson. Photographer Arthur C Kisitu was searching for his roots, after his mother's death. Arthur tells all of his friends about his grandfather and invites them to visit him in his village. I accepted the invitation, this book is the result."
