The fundraising event for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre at Kihanga Secondary School exceeded my expectation. Held at Kembabazi Restaurant in Naguru, Kampala on Saturday September 16, the event raised UGX 96 million. Another UGX 6 million was donated the following day by two old students, for a total of UGX 102 million.
This was an outstanding charitable spirit of Ugandans that place high value on education and the need to create opportunities for the young generations and those not yet born. It was an excellent example of partnership with the Diaspora International Community of Banyakigezi (ICOB) which has already committed to spend USD 30,000 (UGX 110 million) on the establishment of a state-of-the-art ICT Centre at Kihanga, as part of that organization’s ongoing program of supporting ICT education in Kigyezi.
