He implored others to borrow a leaf from them to develop their home communities, saying, \u201cEast to west, home is the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ruhaama Development Platform (RUDEP) is an independent NGO and umbrella platform uniting all people who hail from Greater Ruhaama. It was started in 2009 and has 160 members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NTUNGAMO, UGANDA &#8211; Ugandans, especially those who are privileged and rich in heart, have been
