NEWS- The proprietors of Ndera business training centre on Sunday at the first graduation of Ndera in Rwobubare Rubaare town council charged parents to equip their children with skills for the brightness of their future.
The proprietors including Ms Mercy Niwamanya the project director and his husband Hilary Niwamanya are optimistic that when a child is raised with knowledge of skills, they will never fail to sustain themselves and the entire family in future.
Hilary Niwamanya, one of the directors, said that a child equipped with skills is not comparable with a child with a heap of books adding that one with skills will be the first to earn money as the one with a heap of books will be moving up and down looking for an office job.
The institution is aimed at grooming the young and old people with skills like basic tailoring and garnet cutting, salon and hair dressing, computer training, hotel training and catering, knitting and crotchety driving and simple mechanics among others.
At the function, the graduates were given sewing machines and salon machines among others to go and change their lives while earning money.
Justus Karuhanga who was the guest of honor in his message through Wiston Muhoozi urged the graduates to put the machines given to them and the skills acquired in use and appealed to the beneficiaries not to sell them off. He also charged the government to consider the education of a boy child not only a girl child for elevating one gender will cost the other in future.
Brenda Nyangoma and Viola Musiimenta among others who received apparatuses promised to put them into use to earn a living.
Ms Hope Kariyo, one of the parents of the graduates, thanked the Ndera directors for their tremendous work for grooming the young to be of great importance.
Other speakers were Angella Tumuhaise and Friday Wilbrod who are among the staff said that they still have the challenge of lack of enough apparatuses to train students.
