Youths in Rubanda District Urged to Focus on Completing their Education Journey first Rather than Involving themselves in acts of Immorality.

Ven. Oscar Mwesigwa, the Archdeacon of Bubaare Archdeaconry in the Diocese of Kigezi, has urged the youth in Rubanda District to stay in school, emphasizing that reducing school dropouts is key to securing their future through education.

Ven. Oscar delivered this message today while closing a three-day youth conference held at St. James Bubaare Church of Uganda, Bubaare Archdeaconry, Diocese of Kigezi. The conference was organized by the Archdeacon and youth leaders of St. James Bubaare Church of Uganda, with the theme based on Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Ven. Oscar expressed concern over the rising problem of school dropouts in Rubanda District, warning that it could have serious consequences for the district’s future. He urged the youth, both those who attended the conference and those who did not, to focus on their education, as it is the foundation of their future success.

He further encouraged the young generation to take care of their bodies, reminding them that a fulfilling life awaits them after they complete their education. Ven. Mwesigwa also emphasized that the lessons learned during the conference should be put into practice.

Asasira Anthony, the chairperson youth leader at St. James Church of Uganda, expressed gratitude to the parents for sending their children to attend the conference, where they acquired new skills that will benefit them in the future.

He noted that the high dropout rate is often due to a lack of school fees and urged parents to work harder to ensure their children can stay in school and pursue their education.

The youth who participated in the conference thanked the organizers and promised to apply the lessons they learned during the three days.
