Facts about the New Busoga College Mwiri Head-teacher:

By Prichard Davis Kavuma - Honorary Secretary - MOBA

It took two years for the stakeholders at the strategic level to
Identify a head teacher that would take back Mwiri to its place

of holistic education).

He is none other than Rotarian Wamala Lule George.
Born on the 30th October 1959.

Wow,

That is one great CV and I see he is an achiever.

My only prayer is that he gets a team of like-minded people; people who do not settle for second best. I pray that all the staff and OBs and well-wishers give him all the support he needs.

You are in our Prayers MR HM. Discipline breeds good works all the way from the teachers to the students. Remember SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD.

With best regards
