FOR having benefited from Namasagali College, former students have set up an NGO to help under- privileged individuals achieve their higher educational aspirations through a Higher Education Scholarship Fund.
Namasagali Old Students Association (NOSA International) comprises friends and former students of the college based abroad and in Uganda.
It is a charity organisation registered in Boston, USA and will be registered in the UK and Uganda, shortly.
The first event is to be held in Boston, USA at the Boston Marriott from June 29 to July 1.
It is a reunion and a launch for the scholarship fund. All proceeds from various events that weekend will go to the fund.
Former students of Namasagali are renowned for holding individual annual reunions, some of which have brought together former headmaster the Rev. Fr. Damian Grimes, as well as students, teachers and well-wishers in Uganda and the UK, for many years.
Unlike other established colleges, Namasagali has had no solid alumni structure until now.
Future annual fund-raising events will be held in different locations in rotation until the fund is well established.
