WHY "SPEKE"?
Speke
Management Services
is named for
John Hanning Speke
(1827-1864), a man whose pioneering spirit is an
inspiration to Judy. A British army officer and intrepid
explorer, he was a
fearless individual who overcame extraordinary obstacles
and problems in pursuit of his dreams. He discovered and
named
Lake Victoria
- a body of water so vast that it straddles a part of Kenya
and vast tracts of Tanzania and southern Uganda, where it
holds the source of the
White Nile.
Judy’s travels took her to Uganda where she floated over
the bubbling, frothing spot where the source of the River
Nile flows into Lake Victoria. It is 40 meters deep as the
area has been dammed. The beauty of this place is
indescribable;
Mahatma Gandhi
was so moved by what he saw that he arranged to have a
portion of his ashes scattered here.
Speke...
to be heard!
