Hi folks. Greetings from the H.L.D.I team, we once again bring you the latest updates on activities that transpired during this month of April. As it was already clearly highlighted in our earlier posts, we had two workshops take place as follows:
Soroti student leaders workshop (hosted
by Teso College Aloet):
On 5th of April, we had a total of 155 student leaders
locally known as prefects converge for a one day workshop in Soroti. The student
were from 6 local schools that include; Teso College Aloet, Halcyon High
school, Soroti municipal Secondary School, Olila High school, Light S.S and St.
Mary’s Girls school .
The theme of the conference was “Being the best student
leaders we should be”.
Earlier that day, Mr. Alfred Elalu
Edakasi gave a lecture on the 7 Habits of highly Effective people, a book
written by Stephen Covey. The student
leaders later in the day appreciated Cornerstone Development for thinking about
people of their category (student leaders) and initiate a project geared toward
improving their morality, character and build their capacities as student
leaders.
The patrons( teachers from
participating schools) were all grateful to Cornerstone for the same, the couldn’t
hide their heartfelt appreciation to Cornerstone for its efforts to create
change agents of Uganda’s future.
Later on that day, our guest speaker
was Honorable Janet Rose Agayo, a former women councilor for Soroti District. She
gave a speech on the topic “Challenges facing youth leadership today in Uganda
and how to minimize them”. She challenge the youth oh how to be unique and
change agents of the nation and start looking at themselves as leaders of
today, not leaders for tomorrow as proclaimed by some current leaders.

On a similar note, H.L.D.I again held
a one day workshop that attracted participation of 5 schools all from Amuru and
Gulu districts respectively. The schools that participated include; St Mary’s
College Lacor, Gulu High School, Sir Samuel Baker College, Restore Leadership
Accademy and Gulu Secondary School. There was a total of 135 student leaders
and 10 teachers.
Our guest speaker was Honorable Reagan
Okumu, MP for one of the constituencies in Gulu. He also gave a talk of being visionary and persistent as one
of the approaches to overcome challenges facing youth leadership in Uganda.
Eluku Michael from Cornerstone
Development also gave a lecture on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective people. The
host school (St Mary’s College Lacor) was a very cooperative school. A part
from organization and participation, the administration was very instrumental
in seeing this event succeed.
