Minister Babalanda Hails SDA Church

Minister for the Presidency Milly Babirye Babalanda has applauded the Seventh day, Adventist Church in Uganda (SDA) for always emphasizing development in their preaching and working hard to change the mindset of young people.

Babalanda  noted that the Adventists church message doesn’t only provide the relevance of God’s word but also pushes people to develop their social skills, build strong families and be useful citizens in their localities.

“This is what makes religion relevant to mankind and it should be encouraged,” she said.

“The NRM does not believe in dividing the people along religious lines, and so, Religion is supposed to be a unifying force. That is why government is committed to providing services to every Ugandan irrespective of their religion.

Babalanda said this on Sunday   during a fundraising event for Bufumbira SDA Secondary School at Chuho SDA Grounds in Kisoro district. On behalf of President Museveni,   Babalanda delivered  Ugx 20 million as contribution for the construction of an A’ level storied classroom block that will cost over  Ugx 500 million.

She said that she was pleased that the   SDA have a Secondary School in Kisoro District which is a very big achievement by the SDA Community in Kisoro.

“The SDA community has very few schools in the country but they are   well known that the schools produce very quality students who prioritize God and His power to transform.”

Abel Bizimana, the Kisoro LC5 Chairperson said contributing to the noble cause of putting up a school infrastructure is one way of loving and building Uganda.

“Before we go back home, we must build this structure so that people in this school can have capacity. The school should be ready to admit A’ level students by next year,” said Bizimana.

The fundraising event was also attended by Sarah Nyirabashitsi Mateke by the Minister of State for Youth and Children Affairs, SDA leaders, District leaders among others.
