St. Anthony’s Secondary School that was destroyed during the 1979 war this evening received an assortment of classroom furniture for their S3 block from dfcu Bank.
St. Anthony’s Secondary School is
a Catholic founded, government aided school with a population of approximately 500
students many of whom have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. However, despite having to study under deplorable
conditions the students manage to emerge among the top performers in both O
& A’ level national examinations in the district.
Handing over the furniture to the
school, Mr. Bbosa Kizito –Manager, dfcu Bank Masaka branch said, “These are our future leaders, we need to start
investing in them now in order to determine how tomorrow will be. As we develop
as an institution, we need to facilitate community development as well. St.
Anthony’s being one of the many places were skills needed for development are
taught, automatically qualifies it to
receive the assistance it needs in order to function in its development role
properly.” He added, “We are concerned about the development of tomorrow’s
generation because they are the ones to carry the mantle of development for
generations to come.”
