The first time Samson Kisule left the country was in 2003, the circumstance was sad. He was going to have an operation in a London hospital after he developed an ear infection while in P5.
The operation though successful left Kisule with a hearing impairment which disrupted his education, at St. Charles Lwanga High School Kasasa. But in August Kisule will be flying out of Uganda for the second time - this time on a happy note.
Kisule on Saturday became the fifth and the last person to win a ticket to Beijing Olympics to be held in August this year. He won the ticket in the final draw of the Coca-Cola draw held at Kamwokya market.
"I love Inzikuru, am happy I will be going to Beijing to see her running," said the 27-year-old who has a stammer.
