The DG thanked Mr Benjamin Bwanika, the Charter President of the Club, for his sterling contribution and outstanding leadership throughout his tenure.

Bamwesigye attested to the power and influence of Rotary-noting that a few years ago, UCAA made a modest contribution to the Rotary Club of Entebbe, which liaised with The Rotary Foundation through the Rotary District 9214 and secured very expensive Orthopeadic Equipment that was recently handed over to Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital.
The moto for the Rotary movement is “Service above Self” and for the last 115 years of development, the association has grown from a four-member club to an international service organisation of over 35 000 member clubs and 1.6 million Rotarians across 200 countries and regions worldwide.
