GIRLS LET US WORK TOGETHER

-

 

I I am Wanyenya, Patience, Ugandan age 13, Senior 1 at Katikamu SDA Secondary School, Gayaza branch, Secretary/member-Eagles Youth Development Initiative (EYDI)-Girls Ambassadors’ Club and my desire is to become a Doctor of Philosophy. Girls Ambassadors Club was formed after a peer learning session during COVID-19 school closure.  In one of the peer learning session we had a topic “LET US WORK TOGETHER” as it is said” One by one makes a bundle”, and  “Two heads are better than one”, And this calls for supporting each, being cooperative and working in organized series to achieve something productive.

Girls working together is beneficial because enables them to acquire knowledge and different skills though sharing knowledge and experience, getting get friends who can build one’s capacity in different things.  Also promotes innovation and creativity skill because the all knowledge acquired is added to come up with one thing, creating opportunities for people to get jobs, guidance and counseling thus overcoming problems.

Fellow Ugandans and the entire world, let’s put God first in everything we do and also work together to address the needs of young people especially girls in rural areas. Let support girls during the school closure and it starts at individual, family and community at large hence promoting development and living happily in our nation.

I wish to thank EYDI management for coming up with program like “a BI-monthly peer learning sessions” for girls in Kiwenda Cell, Busukuma Division to share and learn how to cope up during and beyond COVID-19 to achieve our dream.

I call upon all development partners and well-wisher to support this program because it gives young people to acquire like skills to cope up daily challenges.
