The Permanent Secretary in the ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Vincent Rubarema, has asked the students of Kabojja International School to always have positive attitudes, in order to be successful in life.

“Take your thoughts seriously because they are things. What you think is what you will become. What you want to be will depend on your attitude. You are the architect of your life. You should thus dream about only great things.”
