The service was attended by clergy from various parishes, including Rev. Jane Orembe, Rural Dean of the Namasoli Deanery; Rev. Harrison Mirikau of the Shiraha Deanery; Rev. Victor Okutoto of Emwanga Parish; Simon Muyoyi of Ebukwala Parish; ACK Namasoli Health Centre chairman Dr. Ibrahim Amira and other distinguished guests.
This celebration not only highlighted Lina’s accomplishments but also fostered a sense of community and support among those present, reinforcing the importance of education and perseverance.
Rev. Okutoto, drawing inspiration from Psalm 126, urged the students in the ACK Diocese of Butere to emulate exemplary role models and dedicate themselves to their academic pursuits.
He cautioned them against engaging in behaviors that could detract from their commitment to achieving academic excellence.
