Kabale Trinity College has pledged to support visually impaired students of Horby High School with a braille Bible valued at two million shillings.
The pledge was announced by the school’s director, Mr. Joab Tumwebarize Muhwezi, who said that this year the institution chose to dedicate its Christian support program to providing a Bible for the blind.
According to Mr. Tumwebarize, a braille Bible is unique and costly because each book is printed as a separate volume, making the complete set both bulky and expensive.
He revealed that students of Kabale Trinity College have already raised UGX 500,000 towards the purchase, while the school will top up the balance to meet the total cost.
“Visually impaired people also need spiritual nourishment just like anyone else,” Mr. Tumwebarize emphasized, adding that the school will work hand in hand with the Uganda Bible Study Association, the body mandated to print Bibles, to deliver the braille version to Horby High School.
