Salim Rahemtulla grew up in Kampala, as one of nine children in a close-knit family of modest means. In 1971, he received a partial bursary to study Computer Science at the University of Manchester, UK, which was meant to be a step toward a brighter future. Little did he foresee the tumultuous political landscape that would soon unravel and dramatically alter the course of his life. The dictator Idi Amin had come to power in Uganda earlier that year, and one of his first acts as president was to order the expulsion of some 80,000 Asians—most of whom, like Rahemtulla’s family, were of Indian descent. In this beautifully written memoir Salim Rahemtulla weaves together the threads of his past, painting a vivid picture of his formative years spent on Namirembe Road in Kampala. He writes about his years as a student and a security guard in the UK; his reunion with his parents and siblings in Canada; his life as a husband, father, computer scientist, and hotel owner; and his travels to India and Uganda to rediscover his roots. With empathy, honesty, and insight, Rahemtulla invites readers to accompany him as he dives into the past, unraveling significant world events, including the Expulsion, Independence, Western cultural influence in East Africa and 1970s immigration to the UK. Through all of these delightful stories and characters, Salim highlights the profound significance of family and community ties that binds us together across time and distance.

Guardian Angel the Book is like an Odyssey; a journey that questions and challenges the ethos of man through the ages; especially in East Africa, irrespective of time, site or circumstance. The author has consistently refused to veer from this contention; however unpalatable some of the home-truths that surfaces along the way; for this is not a fictional novel, but the living experiences of a suffering people through time. Many of the characters he faced in his battle for survival, were men that had no good reason to stray from the honourable path to Independence, and the true freedoms of their people. The Manifestos were believable and opportunities to implement them in their entirety were not denied them. They even enjoyed hero status as they were the first; they were the undisputed bearers of the flags of freedom. But sadly, they and they alone must chose to betray this goodwill; they and they alone must have succumbed to the ills of power. Guardian Angel - The Book, so aptly lays bare their hypocrisy and betrayal, while confirming the bounteous beauty of life

Forced to flee from one’s homeland with only a few suitcases, most would be bitter. However, Memories of a Ugandan Refugee is a story of gratitude for a country that opened its arms to those needing a safe harbour. Within its pages, Jalal Jaffer tells his story of growing up in Uganda and his dangerous escape from his country with his wife, Shamshad, when they and thousands of other Asians are forcibly expelled by Idi Amin in 1972. Feeling blessed with the “warm embrace” offered them in Canada, Jalal and his wife quickly adapt to their new country and eventually settle in Vancouver. After completing a law degree and being called to the Bar in British Columbia in 1978, Jalal balances his work and family life with service to the Canadian Ismaili Muslim community. Taking on increasing senior leadership roles in the community, Jalal serves two terms as Chairman of the Ismaili Tariqah & Religious Education Board for Canada (ITREB) and is named the Mukhi of Darkhana of Canada in 2002. As he documents the blessings he receives through service, he also captures important history of the growth of Ismaili Muslim institutions both in Canada and internationally. Filled with recollections and anecdotes – some meaningful and some humorous – of fascinating times, events, and people, as well as interesting reflections and moving poetry, Memories of a Ugandan Refugee is ultimately about one man’s journey on this planet as he seeks to live life well and serve family and community.

She was dirty and dusty. Her curly hair had seen neither a comb nor water for months. In one hand she carried a package of cigarettes and in the other a solvent rag. Young Namusisi had no home, no family, no money for school fees, and no one to loveher or care for her. She survived in the culture of the buy aye on the streets, parking lots, and porches of the city of Kampala, Uganda. But one day she met Daddy Kefa and her life was changed. He took her to his children's home where she was provided for and was shown the love of Christ. Namusisi was just one of more than 6,000 Ugandan street children who were rescued from a meaningless and hopeless life by the efforts of a compassionate, selfless, and godly man. The book contains the poignant stories of many of those destitute children stories of how they came to live on the streets and of how their lives were changed. Here are stories of a people ravaged by a demonic dictator, a people who had lost all sense of humanity and were struggling under emotional, physical, and spiritual poverty. From the Dust tells how the efforts of one man made a difference to so many who were groping in a dark world of sin and hopelessness. It is the story of the love of God to the lost and dying, andof how that love made a difference to so many Africans and can still make a difference to those who will trust in him.
