Excerpt: After several stops in Rwanda, Mr. Clinton and his entourage flew to Uganda. There he joined supporters for dinner in the verdant garden of the Kampala Serena Hotel, in Uganda’s capital city, the loud hum of locusts in the background. […] If the donors get their money’s worth, Mr. Clinton makes sure that his charitable work does as well. On a visit to a primary school in the Mpigi District of central Uganda, a rural brickmaking area a half-hour outside Kampala, George Srour, the founder and “chief dreamer” of Building Tomorrow, a nonprofit group that helps bring schools to sub-Saharan Africa, told Mr. Clinton that he could use additional financing. Mr. Clinton pointed to Rumi Verjee, a wealthy Ugandan of Indian descent who lives in Britain.
“See that guy over there? He’s one of the most successful business people from Uganda, and he wants to give back,” he said to Mr. Srour. Mr. Clinton called out to Mr. Verjee: “Hey, Rumi, come over here. This is a shakedown!”
