From the outset of his papacy, Pope Francis has championed a radical approach to environmentalism, urging global leaders to recognize their moral responsibility towards creation. His encyclical, “Laudato Si”: On Care for Our Common Home, serves as a clarion call to all humankind. In it, he emphasizes the interconnectedness of life and the detrimental impact of human activity on the environment. He presents a compelling argument that caring for our planet is not merely a political or scientific issue but a deeply spiritual one. 

The first quarter ended evenly at 16–16, with both sides testing each other in a balanced opening. UCU began to pull away in the second, outscoring the Oilers 18–13 to take a five-point lead into the half.

Uganda Christian University (UCU) has officially named one of its major buildings at the Kampala Campus after former Vice Chancellor, Rev. Canon Dr. John Senyonyi, in recognition of his leadership and contribution to the growth of the institution.

The Canons battled hard in the second, with Ibanda Lwabaga and Dushime leading the charge, but the Blazers’ composure kept them ahead, maintaining a six-point cushion at halftime.

The win is a motivation for everyone on the team, a push that creates more confidence for the ladies to believe they can competitively face any team. Before we played KCCA, they were unbeaten too, so this was a determinant win—especially against such an opponent,” she added.

The Canons came out firing, ripping an 8‑0 opening burst, yet Livingstone’s Akris Ainomugisha (eight early points) clawed the hosts back to trail by just one at the first break, 14‑13. That was as close as it got.
