The Moving-on Project received three new recruits this month. Lukondya, Mazabuka and Monica left Mayega for new lives as college students. The two boys will train to be motor mechanics and Monica to be an electrician. It is a well worn path for Mayega leavers to join Kalwande College. Lukondya will join our five other students there. Mazabuka and Monica have enrolled at Nyakato College, which is new for Busega Scotland. Christine and Rev Deuli visited the college and were very impressed by its organisation and facilities. There is competition for places and we were delighted when they were selected, having done very well in the entrance examination and interview.
Lukondya and Mazabuka will be resident at their colleges, while Monica has moved in with Ester and Kabula. They are now in their final year with Ester training as a primary teacher and Kabula doing secretarial studies. The Moving-on Project currently has ten students in full time vocational education as we attempt to provide secure futures for them. All the established students are doing very well and we also expect our new recruits to do Mayega Children’s Centre and Busega Scotland proud.
Matron was sad to see her children leave but bursting with pride at the young adults they have become.
