We didn’t know that Sam Bright Muhindo is an ardent fan and a player of Ludo. It is a board game in which players advance counters by throwing dice. He couldn’t help going back to one of his favorite games after catching up with hommies playing the game.
The popularity of Ludo is only compared to football, in Bwera, Sam and his oldies could afford a real blue dice and the rest was a piece of box paper with a pen drawn lines numbered in ascending order, 1 to 5 and 16 plastic bottles for all the players.
As Sam was winding up his game, his siblings were into the last phases of organizing to go to Atlas Modal Primary School, thanks to Ben Gavin. Sam’s siblings Ronnet Bambu 12 and Brighton Bwambale 3 year -old boy got the opportunity to step into school thanks to Sam’s popularity.
At their home, before they could set off, Bravo Shoes Community Support Organisation founder, Yesigye Brian Bravo called for support from all the organization’s followers to come on board to support Sam’s family.
“We plan to construct a very nice simple house for Sam’s family and we would wish to come back here when Sam and his siblings have a house better than this every time they come back from school,” he announced.
Inside the house, Sam was busy taking his sister and young brother into hygiene lessons and going through all the school materials sponsored by Ben Gavin. The materials included suitcases, blankets, bedsheets, school bags, new clothes, Ariel, shoe polish, tooth blushes, and detergents.
Others included a mattress, a bucket, sandals, a mosquito net, bars of soap, uniforms, and a pair of Bravo Shoes.
In the queue was Raymond Thembo 12, who Muhindo blessed with a chance to go back to school and also checked in at Atlas Modal Primary School.
According to Biira Juliet, Thembo is Muhindo’s best friend and the two used to go and dance at village weddings.
“Am so thankful for Sam Bright, he chose his friend because they normally go out to dance at weddings. I also thank Bravo Shoes Community Support Organisation for giving us this opportunity, I am over the moon,” she said.
Upon reaching the school, Muhindo, his siblings, and a friend Thembo were welcomed with a dancing challenge.
The Head Teacher, Zephania Muhindo received his new students with a promise to improve them by giving them the best.
We wish them all the best in their education!
