In the meeting that was organized by LC3 of Busoba Sub County on Wednesday, many community members and LC1s who were present said they are ready to work with the head teacher.
Mrs. Nabalayo Milly, one of the board members at Mbale school for the deaf and chairman board, applauded the LC3 of Busoba sub county for organising the community general meeting.
