Veteran musician Iryn Namubiru has held a thanksgiving service following a boat cruise accident last month.
Namubiru was among the survivors of a boat accident near Mutima Beach. The ill fated MV Templar boat killed over 35 people after it sunk in Lake Victoria.
In order to appreciate the gift of life, during weekend, the ‘Nkuweeki’ hit maker invited all the people who ‘contributed to her being alive now’ and officially thanked them during the service at her home.
The singer posted on her Facebook page;
Yesterday was THANKSGIVING at home, Pastor NELSON LUKE prayed for us and I couldn’t do it without these people in the picture (my Rescue Team). I wanted to officially and individually thank each of them.
BRIAN MASOLE second from the right, then ZAKIA the lady who freely lent me her phone to call the only number I recalled that time, and also pleaded with the Boda Boda Man to take us through the 21km forest from Mutima Beach. Next to her is KABUYE, the boda boda man that took me and another survivor Sylvia up to Gaba. (Sylvia got off at Mukwano round about).
Then Faridah, KABUYE’s wife. She Lent us her little jackets bambi to keep us warm. I took three including one that covered my head .
We thank GOD for this Life ! And I will always thank you all for selflessly extending a helping hand without ever asking for anything in return or MONEY! Not even the fuel for the Boda.
We still have real helpful, kind and honest people in most especially UGANDA and the whole worId.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
