This donation included geometrical sets, pens, and food, among others, have been spearheaded by the Entebbe Division B chairperson Richard Sekyondo.
During the handover of the items, Sekyondo urged the learners to always put God first during the examinations, saying, “Please pray to the Almighty God before starting a paper and also be focused because it is the only way that you will remember what you have been learning.”
He also urged parents to continue caring for their children so that they can have a conducive environment while in the examination period without any interference.
While at the same engagement, Maria Sekikubo, the Entebbe Division B Councilor and Minister of Education added a voice to urge parents to always provide food to the school-going children to avoid hunger while at school.

In conclusion, she tasked parents to always show extreme love to their children during this period so that they can concentrate and have fresh minds during the examination time.
Stuart Lubwama, the chairman of Kigungu Primary School PTA, asked children to always remember the schools they have gone through because they mean a lot to them, and they should go back to visit them as well as make possible contributions to them so that they can develop.
