BISHOP ASIIMWE MENTORS KINYASANO GIRLS

RUKUNGIRI, Uganda – Rt. Rev. Onesimus Asiimwe, the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of North Kigezi, has urged students to prioritize their goals and make informed decisions. Speaking to senior five students from Kinyasano Girls’ Secondary School at his residence on May 1st, 2024, Bishop Asiimwe emphasized the importance of distinguishing between urgent and important tasks.

The Bishop encouraged the students to set ambitious goals, quoting Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” He also warned the girls against “dream killers” such as substance abuse and unhealthy relationships.
