My home village is located in the South Western part of Uganda at the Rwandan border. Early this year, I resolved to visit the only primary school that is available for over 5 villages. Young girls as young as 6 must move a distance of over 5 km to access education. As a result many girls will never step in a classroom, others will dropout in their early years and later years of elementary level.I put together a campaign since: <a href=\"https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/keep-kisoro-girls-in-school/\">https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/keep-kisoro-girls-in-school/</a> . As of now,  the campaign could have been retired but It will not tire...I keep coming, fighting back for the girls in Kisoro to complete basic primary education and transition to secondary education.Then ,I will go back and celebrate the  IDG .
