Education: King David Junior school re

WAKISO - After over three weeks of closure following a grisly road accident that claimed lives of 22 pupils and the school director, King David Junior School has reopened today (August 10), with counselling for pupils. On Friday (August 7), the school held a memorial mass for the souls of the 22 pupils and the school director, Tadeo Ssekadde, who perished in a bus accident in Kapchorwa on the evening of July 16. Fr. Deogratious Kiibi, who led the mass, prayed for Primary Seven pupils, including the survivors. He emphasised daily prayers in the school, saying it will play a big role in fighting the enemies of the school. "You need to offer daily prayers for our children here and teachers because there are so many evil people outside there, who might want this school not to shine again," he said. The new school director, Prossy Ssekadde, the wife of the school's late founder and her assistant, Margaret Bbosa, were introduced to parents. Fr.
