NRM organizes three-day camp for youth in Masaka
Thousands of youth leaders from greater Masaka districts graced the three day ideological orientation camp organized by the ruling National Resistance Movement part at St. Charles Lwanga Kasasa Senior Secondary Secondary in Kalungu district .
The camp according to NRM officials is aimed at orienting youths into becoming responsible future leaders in their communities and to the nation at large.
The NRM director of mobilisation, Hon. Rosemary Nansubuga Seninde said the camp will enrich youth with all round knowledge in using leadership to address the social problems of society like poverty, ignorance and disease.
“We seek to empower our aspiring leaders with ideological orientation, positive mindset and leadership skill in order to enable them participate in productive politics and social – economic transformation of the country, through supporting government programs,” Seninde said.
She pointed out that at times youth are misled not because of their wish but due to wrong guidance and lack of proper ideology.
Sseninde said the camp will help youths appreciate Uganda’s natural endowments that they can use for their own economic transformation.
“The camp will also help enhance values and important life skills among young people.”
She invited all youth leaders across all religious, cultural and political institutions who hail from Kalungu, Bukomansimbi, Masaka districts and Masaka city to participate.
The Director of communication at the NRM Secretariat, Emmanuel Dombo reiterated that the youth retreat will empower young people to know their responsibility and also provide platform where they can exchange ideas on the government programs like the Parish Development Model and other wealth creation projects within their communities.
He committed that the facilitators will take responsibility to teach them, train them and show them what they are supposed to do to benefit from government.
