The head of Acholi culture, Rwot David Onen Acana II, stopped by Kitgum High School on Wednesday. He made this visit during his journey toward Ker Kal Kwaro Pajimo, which is located in Kitgum. Students cheered when they saw him arrive. School leaders and board members joined them to greet their special guest.
Mr. Opoka Christopher runs the school as head teacher. He told everyone how student numbers grew from just 170 back in 2017 when he started. Today, the school teaches 1,215 young people. Mr. Opoka asked Rwot Acana for help with money for poor students. He also requested new sleeping buildings for girl students. The school leader promised he would teach Acholi traditions to all students.
The school employs 44 teachers plus extra staff for other jobs. Okello Okuna speaks for the Ker-Kwaro Acholi group. He shared happy news about the royal visit. Two students from last year's class earned half-price college deals at Kampala International University because of this special day.
Rwot Acana gave money to thank the school dancers who performed Bwola. He handed over one million Ugandan shillings to support their art. The Paramount Chief also donated two bulls for student meals. Before leaving, he made a big promise—he would pay for building a new place where girl students could sleep safely at night.
