March 12, 2026-Manafwa-Joy and excitement filled the atmosphere at Bubulo Secondary School, Manafwa District on Thursday, 12th March 2026, as members of the 𝘽𝙪𝙗𝙪𝙡𝙤 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙊𝙡𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨’ 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝘽𝙐𝙎𝙊𝙎𝘼) returned to their former school with a generous donation of assorted 225 textbooks for lower secondary curriculum aimed at improving academic research for both students and teachers.

On behalf of the visiting alumni, Mr. Mandu Medard thanked the school administration for the warm reception and for their willingness to work closely with old students in rebuilding and strengthening the academic success of Bubulo Secondary School.
The students, visibly overwhelmed with joy, received the books with appreciation and promised to work harder in their studies to build a better future and make their school proud.
The donation stands as yet another testament to the enduring bond between Bubulo Secondary School and its old students, whose commitment continues to light the path for generations to come.
