I completed a Diploma in Business Management in 2011 failed to get a job until I joined Eagles Youth Development Group for hands on computer training.After 4 months of Computer training, leadership, entrepreneurship mentoring and coaching, we were awarded certificates. We were recruited in Wakiso District, Busukuma Sub County as Enrolment Officers for National ID Project under Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'm currently working as a Store officer with Mairye Estates Ltd using a computerized store ledger. Special recognition goes to the computer training component for providing computer skill relevant to the job market.

Before training with EYDI I believed that all STI's are not curable but through sexually transmitted infection training I got to know that some STI's are curable and others are not curable i.e. curable Candida and non curable HIV/AIDS. And through this training I have learnt the sexual practices that may lead to HIV/AID i.e. Prostitution, Polygamy, Unprotected sex, High sexual libido among others. I wish thank Mr. Musoke Twahah and Madam Nakityo Christine for their endless guidance to the youth and club members at large.Thanks to DSW Uganda for support offered to our club, without them we would not get such important information to guide us in our day today life.

I would like to appreciate Eagles Youth Development Group through ICT FOR YOUTH EMPLOYMENT Project. After the first training module, am empowered to use a computer for different purposes for example on-line learning. The training is youth friendly and tailored towards building capacity of unemployed youth. Am exposed and have got new resourceful friends as well as different ideas. I pray that God guides Mr. Musoke .S. Twahah the Executive Director to get the necessary support to train more unemployed youth with practical skills. Thanks
