Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 25602, member: 2262"] Mr. Museveni told people they must not keep their cows in wet places. He wants people to save these special areas for raising fish instead. He shared this message when he visited Kigezi to see how people use government money. He went to a new place called the Kigezi Industrial Hub, where young people learn jobs. He liked seeing a fish pond there but asked the people to move their cows away from the wet areas. He explained that people can make good money from fish. Someone can earn 700,000 shillings from half an acre of fish ponds after buying fish food. The water from these ponds helps plants grow better. The Industrial Hub teaches young people many useful skills. They learn how to make furniture, bake bread, sew clothes, style hair, make shoes, and work with metal. Mr. Museveni felt happy that parents want their children to learn these skills for free. He said they would add new things to learn, like fixing pipes, repairing cars, and working with electricity. Mr. Museveni gave money to help the students who learned these skills really well. He gave 40 million shillings to four students who did the best work, and he gave another 20 million shillings to help young people start their own small businesses. He worried about children who leave school early. He wants to build more schools near people's homes. This would help families save money because children could walk to school instead of living there. The government would pay teachers and buy school things. A teacher named Pascal Tibaijuka said the Industrial Hub makes life better for many young people. They can learn skills to make money even if they have had trouble going to school before. Mrs. Catherine Ndamira, who speaks for Kabale District, thanked Mr. Museveni for helping young people learn these important skills. [/QUOTE]
