Pupils at Taibah Junior School in Entebbe have donated five sacks of clothes and over 30 jerrycans to the children displaced by the war in northern Uganda.
The donation was handed over to the Uganda Red Cross Society Northern Uganda Disaster Preparedness Co-ordinator, Samuel Katusabe, at the school premises on Wednesday.
The Red Cross has received non-food material donations worth sh15m since it started assisting the people displaced by the war in northern Uganda.
Katusabe said the donation from Taibah and others from different institutions would be distributed to the children in Kitgum and Pader districts.
“The people in the camps go through a lot of hardship. Most are traumatised and they need a lot of care and attention. It gives me much pleasure to see that these pupils understand the plight of their agemates in the North,†Katusabe said.
“We will keep on assisting the people as long as the war is still on. Fellow human beings should not be left to suffer,†he said.
