As part of the Lent period of giving to the needy, helping others, and praying for the sick, the Kashenyi Senior Secondary School Scripture Union club visited Rugarama Health Center IV in Rukungiri Municipality.
During the visit, students from Kashenyi Secondary School, led by their chaplain, gave out various items such as soaps, sugar, rice, and many other essentials to both patients and staff members as a form of support. They also prayed for the sick and the hospital staff.
Davis Amanya, speaking on behalf of the Scripture Union students, shared that although they didn’t have much as students, they sacrificed what they had in order to be a blessing during this Lent period. He also advised fellow youth to always pray to the Almighty and to cultivate a heart for helping and giving to the needy.
