Mother’s Union members of Nyamwamba Archdeaconry in South Rwenzori Diocese have emerged the winner in their recently concluded musical competitions.
The competitions that were held at a Diocesan level involved participants from 13 Archdeaconries and one parish and they include St. Paul’s Deanery, Rwesande, Kabatunda, Maliba, Ibanda, Kisinga, Bwera, Kinyamaseke, Kyarumba, Lhubiriha, Kasese, Nyamwamba, Mahango and St. Stephen’s Kikonzo Parish. Out of the 14 Archdeaconries in South Rwenzori Diocese, only Kitholhu did not turn up to participate.
They participated in four items including Set piece, Poem, Drama and Original Folk dance (Original Composition). Among the four items, Nyamwamba Archdeaconry merged the winner with 311, St. Stephen’s Kikonzo with 308, Lhubiriha Archdeaconry with 306; while Kisinga and St. Paul’s Deanery came in the fourth position with 305 marks among others. Each team was awarded with a gift and a Certificate of Participation; and the winning team will face other teams for Regional Level Mother’s Union competitions that will be held in Ntungamo from August 28 to August 30, 2024.
Rev. Betty Mbambu Mwero, the Diocesan Mother’s Union and Family Life Coordinator explained that the event was organized as another way of preaching the gospel through music, dance and drama since not every one was gifted with a talent of open-air preaching.
Hon. Florence Kabugho, the Kasese Woman Member of Parliament who is also a member of the Christian Women Fellowship thanked the mothers for the good performances and showing that they still have their God given talents. She also asked them to involve the fathers while organizing such educative events. In her observation, Hon. Kabugho said their performances conveyed a message of domestic violence which needs to be perceived by both the mothers and the fathers.
Bishop Emeritus Zebedee Kahangwa Masereka and his wife Mama Stella Masereka also graced the function.
