25 YEARS WITHOUT STUDY TOUR-BUSSI ISLAND

-

I am Onyaaka Steven,13 years in Primary Seven (P.7) St. Mark Bulenge Primary School, Bussi Island-Uganda.

I send my greetings to all directors of Eagles Youth Development Initiative through Bussi Island cluster project  most especially Mr. Musoke Twaha for his support to our school.

He encouraged our Head teacher and the staff to organize an Education trip for learners far way back in 2017 as he visited our school.
Am happy this dream was achieved on 24thjuly 2019, St. Mark Primary School had spent 25 years without any Education Tour for Learners yet it is located in Wakiso District, Central Uganda.

He as well created time to empower parents school management committee, parents and guardians about the benefits of education trip and it`s values to us as learners during the parents meetings.

In the education trip, we learnt many things but also we thank him for the camera that helped us to take photos that will remain historical record for us and the school.

God bless you in your work as you help other children who need help.

Yours faithfully,
Onyaaka Steven
Education Trip Ambassador
St. Mark Bulenge Primary School, Uganda

Achieving universal access to basic hygiene and sanitation can unlock annualized net benefits of $45 billion and $65 billion respectively.
