The interact club worked closely with the OD Department. The Oncology Department (OD) at St Francis Hospital Nsambya (Nsambya) is one of the newly established departments to address the growing need for comprehensive cancer care in the hospital and in Uganda as a country, in general. A total of 5,240,000 Ugx was raised during this charity week.
Charity week is a speciality week at Kabojja that is dedicated towards fund-raising resources/funds for a given cause at hand. Our learners are given an opportunity and encouraged to take up and learn the dynamics of community service in a way that entails mitigating some of the challenges faced in the communities per say. Our charity week event normally serves two purposes: to raise awareness for a specific cause and enable our learners learn the culture of how they can become noble community leaders and problem solvers through the idea of communal fund-raising, among others. The theme for the charity week was Harambe- Meaning “all pull together”, This is a Swahili word used to unite people for the greater good of society.
Many activities were held to raise awareness for this fundraising cause like Bake Sales, Casual day (Dress down Jersey Day), Charity Basketball Game, car wash, car ticket/stickers sale, Music Performances, Tag of war, capture the flag and the climax of fun day.
Well-done to the KIS Interact Club and its Patron Mr Ronald Musasiizi.
