In rare opportunity, pupils of Miranda Academy in Rukungiri district met the First Lady Janet Museveni last weekend.
Mrs. Museveni, who is also the Member of Parliament for Ruhama County, opened the school officially and toured the pupils’ stalls. The pupils organised stalls that had dolls, crafts and matooke. Parents bought some of the items.
Mrs. Museveni thanked the pupils for successfully organising the ceremony.
It was joy and celebration as pupils sung and praised the First Lady and the directors of Miranda Academy for educating children in the rural area.
Abigail Nagasha, a pupil in top class, presented a gift to the First Lady during the function.
Pupils said they were happy to host the First Lady for the first time.
“I am happy to talk to the wife of the President of Uganda. She asked me what I had on my stall and I told her that I had dolls and crafts,†said an excited eight-year-old Abbey Birungi, who is in P.3.
Eleven-year-old Apofia Ainembabazi in P.6 said: “It is a historical event for Mrs. Museveni to visit the school and especially for talking to me when she visited the pupils’ stall.â€
Seven-year-old Chance Namara in P.4 said she was privileged to meet the First Lady because she knows that Mrs Museveni cares about the young children.
“I know the First Lady cares about children and I was happy to meet her when she visited the school,†she said.
