at Philosophy Center of Jinja. This year it was celebrated at a fantastic way
in which other members from secondary school were invited. The function was
opened by mass celebrated by Rev. Fr. Peter CMF on Christ the King. The center
message was to keep united and always remember what has brought us here.
After the celebration of the Eucharist
members relaxed by chatting, making funs and taking group photos, meanwhile
some invited guests were arriving such as Fr.Oswald and Fr. Yago Abeledo from
the society of Missionaries of Africa. Their presence made the day colorful
which was more visible by their speeches. Member also, used the gathering to
know more each other. The activities accompanied by delicious food and drinks.
Moreover, this was the time to appoint new
leaders where Benedicto Charles(CMF) was chosen as a new chairman, Augustine
Kullaya as new bursar and Christian Ngoitanile as new secretary. The part was
enjoyable and many appreciated. Members had opportunity to dance together
especially Tanzanian songs which was the last section. After all the function
