No one parents effectively by accident. Effective parenting must be intentional;
it must be planned, focused, and have an expected end in mind. Good parents
don’t leave the job to chance; they do everything they can to prepare themselves
and to know what they are doing.
Gideon, a coward, was threshing wheat for his father when the call
came for him to rise and become the deliverer of his nation. His
response to this challenge was, “My clan is the weakest in Israel, my
family is poor, & I am the least likely candidate in my family.”Judges 6:15.
Each of us has a dream. The only difference is the actualization of the dream. AGRITRADE Uganda was first a dream and now it's unfolding into reality a step at a time. We believe in changing lives, value addition and financial independence.
