EDITOR’S NOTE
Advertisement
I am always asked what does leadership look like for you, who is your inspiration and what motivates you to get up, get dressed and do the impossible?
We all have different motivations that inspire us to challenge ourselves at the helm of what we do. A leader’s strength is understanding what it means to be grounded. The ability to stay positive and listen to the needs of others, set goals, learn from challenges and stay motivated to the end. Never give up and redirect their sails when things aren’t working out.

International Humanitarian Magazine
Everything is possible when we commit and dedicate ourselves to deliver and mentor the Champions who surround us. Learn from each other and support what they bring to the table. Never replace kindness for anything less and remain true to yourself. Our life skills and experience are the core values and ingredients behind our success.
The reward and ability to change others’ lives is PRICELESS!!!
My entire life, all I wanted to do is create MAGIC. It was always about celebrating others’ achievements, milestones and life-changing gestures that millions of us do every single day behind the scenes with no expectations for anything in return. They are the game-changers that create change in our world and slide under the radar because they aren’t a celebrity, a politician or a media influencer. It is these people who go above and beyond for our underprivileged communities, under-supported groups and individuals, the voices unheard and the people who have lost hope.
In this edition, we celebrate eYs Magazine’s 3rd birthday, since our first launch in 2018. In the three years we have won an accolade of awards in many categories, established an international publishing firm in the International Towers of Barangaroo, Sydney, Australia, and just recently launched our subsidiary, eYs SDGs World Council.

Board of Directors
We have recognised thousands from around the world and provided a voice to be loud and proud of. We dedicated our birthday edition to our unsung heroes, the children. We thank the children and community, Tokens of Life Uganda and are honoured to feature our gorgeous heroes on the front cover. A special mention to our mentor Nassaazi Theopista (in blue), a widow, who creates hope and helps these children find their purpose through education, mentorship and love. Alongside her is and Kabahemba Claire Gift (in red), who is a Champion for girl child empowerment, an active humanitarian and loves the world of fashion. The children (from left). Nassuuna Maria Assumpta, Nabunje Flavia Gift, Akomolot Patricia, and Matovu Jordan.
Despite the set challenges through a global pandemic our biggest gift for eYs Magazine was to see the glimmer of hope and beautiful smiles on our children’s faces. Their strong belief, one we should all be reminded of, is that if you smile at the world, the world will smile back at you.
Also, celebrating this edition we introduce you to some incredible game-changers throughout the world such as Ivan Mircevski, Aleksandar Kimov, Izabela Sokolovska, Rose Ilioski, Jade Chapman, Eleanor Parker Sapia, Kimberley Coleman, Gabriela Ming, Lumbie Mlambo, Kez Whickham St George and Alessia Piemonte who have taken the world by storm through their creative gift to inspire, motivate and empower our global community for change. And we are in for a special treat from your favourite eYs Contributors who have once again raise the bar.
