In a heartwarming gesture of community support, the residents of Kivulu Village received a generous donation of food and clothes from Redan Business and Vocational Institute (RBVI) today. The donation drive was coordinated by the institute’s Scripture Union Chairman and facilitated by RBVI’s Administration. A significant number of students contributed food, cash, and other household items, demonstrating the spirit of giving and community service that RBVI fosters.
Dr. Daniel Ddumba, the principal of RBVI, and Ms. Rebecca N. Ddumba, the Dean of Students, led a group of enthusiastic students in delivering the donations. The procession was a testament to the institute’s commitment to supporting local communities and addressing the needs of the financially constrained. Dr. Ddumba emphasized the importance of such initiatives in building a compassionate and supportive society.
The donation is part of RBVI’s long-standing program of running a food bank aimed at helping individuals and families who are struggling financially. The food bank has been a crucial resource for many in the community, providing much-needed support and relief. This latest donation drive is one of the many efforts by RBVI to give back to the community and make a positive impact.
Students from RBVI played a significant role in the success of the donation drive. Many of them donated generously, contributing not only food but also cash and household items. Their involvement highlights the institute’s emphasis on instilling values of empathy, generosity, and social responsibility in its students. The students’ active participation also serves as an inspiration to their peers and the wider community.
Ms. Rebecca N. Ddumba expressed her gratitude to all who participated and supported the donation drive. She highlighted the collaborative effort between the students, administration, and community members, which made the event a success. “It is heartening to see our students come together for such a noble cause. Their contributions have made a real difference in the lives of the residents of Kivulu Village,” she said.
The event was captured in a video of the procession and numerous pictures, showcasing the joy and gratitude of the Kivulu Village residents. The visual documentation of the event not only serves as a record of the day’s activities but also as a reminder of the power of community and collective action. These images have been shared widely, spreading the message of hope and solidarity.
The donations were received by the area chairperson, his deputy, and the area Defence Team Leader. The Chairman was grateful and highlighted the need and importance of such efforts as today’s donations to the families in his village, which is composed of adult men, women, and children. He underscored the importance of such efforts in helping some of his members who earn very little to nothing at all and yet have daily basic needs.
RBVI remains committed to its mission of supporting and uplifting the community. Today’s donation drive is a continuation of the institute’s efforts to address food insecurity and provide essential support to those in need. The institute plans to organize more such initiatives in the future, reinforcing its role as a pillar of support and compassion in the community.
