The Nnaabagereka of Buganda, Sylvia Nagginda, has urged children to be obedient to their elders, such as parents and guardians, if they hope to succeed in life.
The Buganda royal was making her call during a special Christmas and New Year party, organized for vulnerable children at the Makindye-based Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care in Africa.
The Nnaabagereka also charged children to resist temptation from any negative peer influence. She also charged parents and caregivers to give the children adequate support and care to help shape them into positive citizens in the country.
“Let’s not only take care for children during festivities only but always because it’s our collective responsibility,” she said.
Amid singing and dance, the children were given several treats, including hugs and gifts from Santa Claus and playing on various toys such as bouncing castles. The Nnaabagereka sang with the children, served cake and distributed Christmas gifts that included toys, shoes, dresses and Christmas cards, among others.
