Rotary Club of Kampala 7Hills Hosts Second Edition of Zumba Fun Day, Edging Closer to their Fundraising Goal for Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped.

Fitness enthusiasts and philanthropists joined hands yesterday for a cause close to their hearts. The Rotary Club of Kampala 7Hills held its second Zumba Fun Day on the 24th of September, turning the rhythmic beats and energetic dance moves into an avenue of hope for the Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped. Under the theme "Fitness and Nutrition," this year's Zumba Fun Day was not just about keeping fit, but also nourishing the spirit of giving. The event aimed to raise funds for the construction of a boys' dormitory at the aforementioned school, which has been a haven for children with physical disabilities, offering them a chance at education and a brighter future. Amidst the vibrancy of Zumba sessions and the echoes of laughter, the Rotary Club announced a significant milestone: they were able to collect 50 million shillings during the event. This takes their total funds closer to their target of 250 million shillings, despite the Sunday showers. The commitment and passion displayed by the club members and participants were palpable. Events like the Zumba Fun Day not only raise funds but also awareness about the pressing needs of institutions that often work in the shadows, like the Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped. While there's still a long way to go to reach their total fundraising target, the journey's trajectory is filled with hope and resilience. The members of the Rotary Club of Kampala 7Hills remain steadfast in their mission, with plans underway for more events and initiatives to bridge the funding gap. As participants departed from the Zumba Fun Day, they left with more than just an adrenaline rush from the dance. They took home the profound realization that every shimmy, slide, and jump can pave the way for a brighter future for someone else. For those who wish to contribute to the cause or learn more about the ongoing projects of the Rotary Club of Kampala 7Hills, they are encouraged to reach out to the club directly.
