During the official opening of the school recently, the Rev. Varn Lubega, a vocational training and youth counsellor, said there was need to transfer the school from Katanga to Bukoto because the former has more space.
The school, which is run by Ambassadors Of Good Hope, targets orphaned children from Katanga and the neighbouring areas. Lis Garval, the acting Danish ambassador to Uganda, who was the chief guest, said DANIDA will continue assisting the school by providing modern facilities like computers and improving the working environment. He said the school had given hope to many orphaned children.
