GIRL WHO HAD OPTED TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL-BUSSI ISLAND

-

I am Nampiina Mary, 13 years in Primary Six (P.6) St. Mark Bulenge Primary School, Bussi Island-Uganda.

I write to thank Eagles Youth Development Initiative (EYDI) through Bussi Island Cluster Project (BICP); for empowering and reminding parents about their roles towards the education of their children focusing on prevention of violence against children.

 


I am girl who had opted to drop out of school because of the vice through Eagles Youth Development Initiative under Bussi Island cluster project helped me to come back to school.

 I am an example of the children at school today because of EYDI/BICP at a time when I had lost hopes of being at school and was planning to make a similar mistake that my elder sister did of getting married.


 EYDI/BICP has helped me to stay at school and gave me things at home like clothes, shoes and school bag with books.


 I want to stay at school to be an example to other children and people on the Island. 


 


God bless you in your activities.
