THE army will construct a sh30m dormitory block at Spire Road School for the blind and deaf in Jinja district. The project will start this month. The dormitory that will house 30 pupils is one of the army’s projects to mark the Terehe Sita day. Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony on Tuesday, the defence minister, Dr. Crispus Kiyonga, said: “Celebrations of the 29th army day will take place on February 6. During the week before the celebrations, soldiers engage in development activities and projects for the communities.” He said the army was in Busoga to explain its achievements in the course of the year, find out whether the people were happy with it and make sure that the people develop. Engineer Lt. Col. Besigye Bekunda said the dormitory, which will be constructed by the army’s engineering brigade, will include a rain water harvest system, which will be completed within one month. Brig. Samuel Lwanga, the deputy chief of medical services, said 15 pupils from the school with simple eye disabilities will also be treated at the eye clinic in Iganga. The army is carrying out similar community activities in the districts of Jinja, Iganga, Bugiri, Namutumba, Kaliro, Kamuli and Mayuge.
