Village Development Committees Assist Orant’s Mission

May 8, 2024 Praises Padambo Comments Off on Village Development Committees Assist Orant’s Mission

Recently, we were privileged to host a special visit from the Chikamphula Village Development Committee (VDC) as part of their community service initiative. This dedicated group of individuals came to our Kasese campus to lend a helping hand with some much-needed sweeping, and we were thrilled to have them! In today’s blog article, we will explore some of the duties of VDC and how their efforts embody the power of community spirit.
