Scrabble players will win big at the inaugural Future Stars-National Schools Scrabble Championship to be staged at the Gayaza Junior School on Saturday.
Over 200 players from ten schools are expected to compete in the inaugural edition, with every participant walking away with a hamper courtesy of the Ugandan-based distribution company Chapa General Enterprises.
“We are going to be providing hampers at every level of the competition. And the hampers will get bigger at every level,” Kazibwe said.
“We are going to give away things like napkins, kitchen towels, and a lot of other stuff like Prestige margarine, laundry and bathing soap, and noodles, among others. We can also extend the same to those who will qualify for the Africa Scrabble Championship in Kenya.”
Murungi welcomed the partnership and prayed that it would continue for many more years.
“We have received soap that is going to help us keep good hygiene and quite a number of eatables that the kids are going to have during the breaks,” Murungi noted. They have prepared extensive products for the children, and we hope they can continue supporting us.”
