Soccer philanthropist Mulindwa asks Ugandans to be charitable
Oct 08, 2016
“God blesses you if you give charity to others. Right now I am building a stadium like Namboole. My school, Saint Mary’s College Kitende is also one of the best schools in the country in academics and infrastructure. I am not a superman to do these things. It is just because of my generosity that I have been blessed abundantly by God,”
The Honorary President of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations, Lawrence Mulindwa has asked Ugandans to develop a culture of helping the needy.
"It is a pity that some of our people have no heart for the poor. We should be mindful of the needs of others. We need to invest in those things that transform our people. You may have billions of money and several arcades, but that is not the important thing. What benefits society is your willingness to give back to the community."
