Patrick Ssenyonjo, famously known as Fresh Kid has officially joined Kampala Parents School (KPS) on full scholarship from the Ruparelia Foundation.
The young rapper was accompanied by education Ministry officials, fellow artistes, promoters and his mother, Ms. Madrine Namata as they signed off the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Naiya Ruperalia representing the foundation.
Naiya said they will nurture his musical talent as well as help him in acquiring basic education.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, the school director Daphine Kato said, “No one has forced Fresh Kid’s parents to sign this MoU hence they should obey and abide by the conditions that have been set to ensure that the boy is at school on a regular basis.”
She said that Fresh Kid has to attend classes on a daily basis and his parents should make sure that this is fulfilled as enshrined in the agreement.
Fresh Kid is supposed to perform very well throughout his stay at the school, he is supposed to inform the principal when he is travelling out of the country and ensure that he is well behaved at school, according to the MOU.
The promoter is supposed to ensure that the Bambi singer does not perform during the weekdays to give him humble time to concentrate at school.
Mary Kobusinge, the Ruparelia Foundation manager said the scholarship which will last for seven years should not be taken for granted.
“The scholarship will facilitate everything he requires academically including dropping and picking him to and from school,” she said.
The seven-year scholarship includes all scholastic materials among others.
He starts school next Monday.
