Pray for this week👇🏼
God, thank You for carrying me through last week and the weekend, I am grateful that you came through for me, thank you because as the weekend comes to an end, I am preparing for a new week, thank You for the grace to experience you in a new way this week, I know that there are weeks when I feel overwhelmed and fail to lean on You for strength, but this week I truly want to rely on You and Your strength to make it, my trust is not in my ability but your Grace, help me to recognize when it is my flesh that I am trusting in, instead of Your Holy Spirit, help me to increase on time in meditating on Your word and in prayer. God, When I face any difficulties, or when I am enjoying something, I ask that You guide my words and my deeds, clothe me with Your armor, and help me to keep my heart and mind guarded against temptations and any form of evil. Lord, provide for my needs and fill me with Your truth and grace. IJN. Amen 🙏
A love letter has allegedly ended a student’s life, leaving sadness and shock at Thomas Vocational Secondary School in Buruma, Rubirizi District.💔
Ankunda Shillah, the girl seen in the photo, is alleged to have committed suicide at school. that is what the family says they are being told.
The incident comes after the deceased was allegedly caught with a love letter and heavily punished with 80 strokes. She was later expected to appear before the school disciplinary committee today.
According to Bob, the deceased’s elder brother who is also a student at the same school, he says he last saw his sister on Monday after she was allegedly taken by the DOS and punished. When she did not show up on Tuesday, he reportedly tried to ask about her whereabouts and was allegedly told that she was in the dormitory. The same happened on Wednesday until students started shouting that his sister had hanged herself. Bob says he tried to enter and see his sister, but he was blocked and denied access by the metron and others and was later locked in a certain room until the body was taken by police and later taken to office forcing him to make a statement and to sign documents indicating that he had seen his sister but he refused.
Students at the school later staged a heavy strike following the incident demanding justice for their fellow student. Police reportedly arrived at the scene and fired bullets as tensions escalated, while the teacher accused of punishing the girl with 80 strokes allegedly ran away at the school alongside others.
The deceased’s mother also reportedly reached the mortuary at KIU International Hospital where the body is being kept. According to her, she could not see any signs that convinced her that the girl had hanged herself after trying to examine the body. She further alleges that her daughter had a heart problem, something she says the school was aware of, but despite knowing her health condition, they chose to beat and punish her heavily without considering her medical status even the days she never attended classes she was never called and yet they used to call her when is sick or missed aclass.
Dear Ugandans, kindly share this story widely so it can reach the right authorities and relevant institutions that can push for a thorough, transparent investigation and accountability into what happened at Thomas Vocational Secondary School.
The family of Ankunda Shillah is left in deep pain and is crying out for answers, clarity and justice following her tragic death. They deserve the truth, they deserve to be heard and they deserve proper intervention so that every detail is fully investigated and nothing is left in silence.
Uganda must enact a law that require mandatory DNA testing for all citizens and newborns. Its is painful that this man will have to search for his father at this age, it is really hurting.
Give thanks 4 Today👇🏼

Having Arsenal fans in your house is risky business. My sons are screaming and jumping like they have seen a Rolls Royce in the compound. Security operatives might raid us anytime.
A Ugandan man, Gerald, is currently fighting for his life in a Dubai hospital after being abandoned without support following his work as a delivery rider in the UAE.
He urgently needs help to return to Uganda for medical treatment and family care. The community is rallying to support and share his story, hoping to secure assistance for his repatriation and care.
Not to sound delusional, but please pray for grace. Life isn't really about hard work. It's more about meeting the right people, grace, mercy, and favour.
I love when you talk things through with someone and realize neither of you was wrong, you just saw things differently. That’s what real communication is: understanding, not winning.
