Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Rotary Club of Rubaga has awarded Mr George Willington Kiberu, the proprietor of Light College Katikamu, for his outstanding work in promoting education in the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

Kiberu was given the Vocational Award at a function held at Pope Paul VI Memorial Hotel in Kampala on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mr Daniel Kasozi, the president of the Rotary Club of Rubaga, said the award is given to personalities who carried out distinguished services that brought outstanding change to communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very privileged as Rubaga Rotary Club to have given this award to Mr Kiberu for having been pivotal in the education sector. He has educated so many individuals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has touched the lives of many, both those who are well off and those who are not, those in high offices and those who are in personal offices,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Kasozi said through Kiberu, \u201cwe have seen tremendous changes in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kiberu, who is turning 100 in March, was one of the pioneers of private education when he founded Light College Katikamu.<\/p>\n

His legacy has led to the establishment of about 20 other private schools across the country.<\/p>\n

While accepting the award, Kiberu thanked the club for recognising his efforts to transform society.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank God for three things. An award by the elders of the Adventist Church, a medal by the President that I received last year for contribution to the education sector, and this award by the Rotary Club of Rubaga. I am so grateful to God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ms Ruth Birungi Muwonge, one of Mr Kiberu\u2019s children, thanked the club for recognising her father\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so grateful that they thought about him and identified him for the things that he has done to the many in the country and across the borders,\u201d Ms Muwonge, who is also the principal and director of WINSA Nursery Day and Boarding Primary School Buloba, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo fellow educationists out there I would like to say that in whatever we do, we should do it whole-heartedly. What we don\u2019t have to forget is that teaching is a calling and we should not do teaching as a last resort,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
