The ONC team delivered refreshments, drugs among other basic materials to help them carry on successfully the remaining distance to Namugongo shrines.
The trekkers were grateful and made a prayer of gratitude to the Office of the National Chairman the SPA manager Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye for the Lord Jesus Christ to continue blessing the works of hands and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to continue having a God’s lead in whatsoever he does.
They narrated how the Uganda Police helped them throughout their completed part of the trek by providing security for ensuring their safety.
Mr. Muhangi said that “these are our people from Kibona and Katete Parishes in Mbarara district. We learned about their trekking and decided to energize them when they get to Kampala.”
