It was a jovial state at Kampala Parents School on Thursday, October 3, 2019 as StarTimes Kampala Kids Run 2019 was launched under the theme “Safe Drinking Water in Primary Schools.”
The event is funded and organized by the Kampala Kids Run, a Non-Government Organisation in partnership with StarTimes, Ruparelia Foundation, City Oil, The Food Hub and Riham.
The StarTimes Kampala Kids Run is an annual event that focusses on helping the less privileged children in rural schools.
During the speeches, Rajiv Ruparelia, the Managing Director of Kampala Parents School stated that, “We are very lucky. We work tirelessly to make sure we provide the best yet many children do not have the privileges we have. It is upon us to provide for them. Kampala Parents School students will also do a fundraising to support the cause.”
StarTimes CEO Franklin Wang said, “We are excited to launch our 2nd edition of StarTimes Kampala Kids Run 2019. The purpose is to come together to support our children in rural schools by providing safe drinking water. We care about each child’s health. So let us make StarTimes Kampala Kids Run a great success.”
Much to the excitement of the entire school, the launch was concluded with a performance from the young and talented Patrick Senyonjo a.k.a. Fresh Kid who is also a pupil at Kampala Parents School.
The Run is scheduled to take place on December 8, 2019 at the Uganda Museum starting at 6am. For a child to participate in this cause, all they need to do is buy a kit at only Shs20,000. All proceeds from the event will go to ensuring that there is safe drinking water for children in rural schools.
