Journeyman Stories

Another of one of those basketball stories. When I started coaching basketball, I was chosen (and that time I was not even in the country for 6 weeks) to be on the board of the basketball federation. It was a fun experience. I was in charge of a program whose main purpose was to promote basketball to the youth. The fun part was that I had access to a Mercedes and a driver who would drive me around to basketball camps within the city. Overall, more than 1000 kids were involved in the camps and we did it for two straight years. Then, a friend of mine called me to ask me if I would do a presentation to a group of people who came from France. They wanted to know about what we were doing with those basketball camps. I was glad to do the presentation and enjoyed the free food that was provided ( I am always open to opportunities). For some reason, the French people were impressed (my presentation skills maybe....). They told me that they would invite me to France so that I could share my sto...

Most of you are wondering what “Bonesha” means. Bonesha is the name of the first radio station I worked for a number of years ago. Even now as I am writing, I can't help but laugh at the thought of me working in a radio station. Four friends playing basketball together, skipping school on Saturdays to hang out in a café.

That was a brilliant idea, except that four publications later, there was no more newspaper. We had good time though. Fifteen years later, yes fifteen, all the four of us are journalists.

But I think we made it though. One of us is a great journalist, he has traveled all over the world doing reports and he is the Vice-President of a gr...

Hello, my name is Patrick Bizindavyi! Welcome to my blog To tell the truth, writing a blog was not one of my plans. But this is what friends are for. For long, my friend Motivatorman has been asking me to share my stories. Sharing your life with people at large is not an easy thing, I must confess. Then comes purpose. I believe my purpose in life is to be that guy you meet, after listening to him, your life takes a new shift (this is my story and I am sticking to it). For a long period of time I was not aware of it, until my friend Motivatorman mentioned it to me;therefore asking me to share my stories. Stories? I have tons of them. Stay tuned, it is my commitment to share my stories once a week. Thank you for letting me part of your journey. Patrick The Journeyman pbizindavyi6@gmail.com
