About the Author

Peter Smith
I am Peter Smith, a 59 year old Englishman born in South London in the United Kingdom. I have lived more than half my life in New Zealand so I regard myself as a Kiwi (New Zealander). I am currently living in Moscow in the Russian Federation with my wife who I married in 2010.

In June 2001 I had a stroke from which I have completely recovered. As a result of my rehabilitation I decided to retrain as a Nurse. I had been a computer programmer all my life until I started my Nursing training in January 2003.

I completed my Bachelor of Nursing at the end of 2005 at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Taradale, New Zealand. I got my Nursing Registration in January 2006.

My first job as a Registered Nurse was working on a neurological ward at the Hastings Memorial Hospital, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, (Hawke's Bay District Health Board).

My next job was working for a brain injury rehabilitation service called ABI Rehabilitation in West Auckland, New Zealand. I was the Residential Nurse caring for 28 clients.

Until 2012 I was a New Zealand Registered Comprehensive Nurse. I will resume Nursing when I return to New Zealand.

    Hello Peter, My name is Christa Preston and I am the Executive Director of embraceKulture, an organization based in Entebbe working for children with intellectual disabilities. I would love to learn more about your work and see how our efforts could support one another. Perhaps we could connect?

      Hi Christa,
      Sorry it took so long to reply. I thought Blogger would notify me!
      I am aware of your work, I have mentioned you or embraceKulture in a few blog posts.
      Disability Support Uganda is an NGO run by PWDs for PWDs.
      I created this blog because I am friend of the President Jacqueline Atugonza, she can describe the work she does at grassroots level better than me.
      We are currently promoting Abilities 256, auditions for a talent contest for PWDs. We have ha 1 audition which you may have seen. You may be interested in joining in with that - please watch our Facebook page or this blog for more details of Auditions.
      At the moment I am living in Moscow but I expect to be visiting Uganda in May.
      I think it would be good to connect.
      Thank you for your interest, and bst wishes with your work,
      Peter Smith
