The chairperson Ntungamo District Dennis Singahache urged parents to embrace the education of their children if they are to have great people to bury them decently.
In his comforting words during requiem Mass the Sacred Heart Ntungamo town catholic parish priest Rev Fr John Baptist Tumusiime reminded believers not to let their heart be troubled because there is time for everything.
