I want to thank my fellow members at the Inner Wheel Club of Kampala under the UK-based International Inner Wheel for the distribution in Nakaseke District which has benefited our children from mostly less privileged families. We shall continue lobbying for more opportunities to provide alternative solutions to challenges that affect our people’s living standards in Nakaseke.”
