MEET THE CREATOR OF SIR CLYDE RIVERS PRESIDENTIAL GREATNESS AND CIVILITY HUMANITARIAN AWARD I am Professor Patrick Businge: the Creator of The Sir Clyde Rivers Presidential Greatness & Civility Humanitarian Award that has been bestowed upon the Legend of Greatness Mama Sarah Obama. Born in Uganda, I did not let my circumstances become my standard. Whist I lived in poverty, I did not let poverty live in me. Following my dreams while believing that no condition was permanent, I used education as my passport out of poverty. This belief led me to world class universities such as the University of Exeter - one of the finest universities in the world – where I graduated with my Doctorate in Education. On my graduation day in 2015, the then Chancellor Baroness Floella Benjamin whispered into my ears, ‘Patrick, go and change the world’. At this point in time, I didn’t know how I was to actualise this. You might be asking, how did it happen? Here is the journey which started with Creating Greatness University: the world’s first and only institution dedicated to discovering, developing, delivering sustaining, and celebrating greatness. Today at Greatness University, we offer services that include: a breakthrough and revolutionary greatness education; we curate the World Book of Greatness that documents great people; honour the World Greatness Day that celebrates greatness around the world; help authors publish their work with Greatness University Publishers; and celebrate the legacies of people through the World Greatness Awards. Allow me to highlight three key areas of my work that are directly related to the focus of this Royal Civility special edition on Mama Sarah Obama: Researcher of Greatness, Creating the Sir Clyde Rivers Presidential Greatness & Civility Humanitarian Award, and Co-creating the World Greatness Awards.

RESEARCHER OF GREATNESS First, one of the key features of doing a PhD is research. After five years of doing doctoral research, it has become my passion and hobby. I spend my free time researching about greatness and creating tools to help others do the same. In the past, I have researched on kings like the Omukama Oyo of Tooro: the World’s Youngest Ruling Monarch. I have researched celebrities like Les Brown, the World’s Number 1 Motivational Speaker. I have researched businessmen like Antonio T Smith Jr, the CEO of ATS Group of Companies. I have also researched renowned church leaders like Archbishop Doye T Agama in the U.K. and Professor Simeon Kayiwa in Uganda. I have research institutions like The Great Kingdom of Tooro in Western Uganda. Currently, I am researching about the World’s Greatest Civility Humanitarian Mama Sarah Obama. This research and legacy will be documented and preserved in this book for future generations. As you read this book, which will be out on her 99th birthday, you will discover that Mama Sarah Obama is at heart of the African and American dream to greatness. She has shaped the African dream through her work as a civility humanitarian. She has shaped the American trajectory to racial equality for without Mama Sarah Obama and her commitment to education, there would not have been Barack Hussein Obama II; the 44th President of the United States and became the first African American to hold the office. We now turn to the second aspect of my work.

DR. AMB. MAMA SARAH OBAMA'S PROFILE Dr. Amb. Mama Sarah Onyango Obama born in 1920 is a Kenyan educator and philanthropist. She is the third wife of the paternal grandfather of U.S. president Barack Obama. She is known for short as Sarah Obama. She lives in Nyang'oma Kogelo village, 30 miles west of western Kenya is main town, Kisumu, on the edge of Lake Victoria. For as long as she can remember, Mama Sarah Obama has been taking care of poverty-stricken children by providing them with food, shelter and other basic necessities of life. With the outbreak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, she saw her work take on a new face – orphaned children living with their grandparents. This novel paradigm created a completely new reality for grandparents, most of whom had no formal education or resources to raise their grandchildren. As a result, most of these orphans did not go to school. As this tragic situation got worse, Mama Sarah decided to do something about it. She has also been at the forefront of championing the plight of the orphans, the girl child and widows in Africa through her charity work in education, sports, health, table banking, environment, agribusiness and nutrition. She has won various international awards including UN Women education Award on November 2014 at the New York, USA . She also got Doctor of letters Degree Award for her work in aid of poor communities in Kenya

A LIFE LITERACY EXPERT From a 13-year-old pregnant girl to an entrepreneur and a world leader Dr. Christine Kozachuk is genuinely a life literacy expert. Dr. Kozachuk’s journey started in a rural impoverished coal-mining town in West Virginia. At the age of thirteen, she became pregnant with her first son, married his father, and had two more children with him by the time she was eighteen. Through the marriage, she was abused physically, mentally, and emotionally. After the birth of their third son, she had finally had enough of the abuse and left. When she left, they just had the clothes on their backs, no transportation, no education, no money, and no plan as to how they would survive. This is where her determination and survival skills kicked in. The first thing Dr. Kozachuk did was move to another state; she went back to school and earned her GED to better her and her children’s lives. This is also where she met her husband of twenty-six years. What she knew is she may not have the best of an education, but with her determination to self-teach herself, she will create the life she and her family deserved. Dr. Kozachuk states, “this is the reason my home is filled with educational workbooks, from typing to how to start and run a business. Her philosophy has always been you don’t have to have lots of money to do what you want in life. It may take you longer, but you will figure out how to accomplish your goal dreams through education with the desire and will power to want more.

One of her dreams was to start a business, because like so many families, they lived paycheck to paycheck. In 1995 she and her husband started a truck repair company with fifty dollars. At that time, fifty dollars was a considerable investment. They barely made it from paycheck to paycheck. Over the next five years, she spent time building their business, educating herself on marketing, budgeting, and taxes until they both could quit their minimum wage jobs and grow the business into a thriving company. Dr. Kozachuk has built multiple successful businesses, RC Mobile Truck Repair Services. She successfully opened and operated two fitness studios, Pink Ice Ladies Fitness Center and Fit N Free for Life. She ran the studios and instructed and encouraged every client. And Every Girl Wins Institute that teaches women and young girls Life Literacy. She did this through educating herself on business management and doing what was necessary to see that each became a success. Every Girl Wins Institute was established in December 2018 to teach women and young girls Life Literacy through a practical and effective model. It’s the first of its kind that teaches life literacy to females worldwide. Sir. Clyde Rivers states, “the compassion of two self-taught women Mama Sarah Obama and Dr. Christine Kozachuk, is blazing a trail for the education of girls around the world. He sees the similarities in both in receiving their Honorary Doctorate.”
