Through this youth programme, we believe in youth without limits, regardless of background, culture, or ability. We believe in bringing communities together, sharing skills and creating opportunities,\u201d the Prince said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Blick William, the chairperson of the Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s International Award Uganda, elaborated on the organisation\u2019s mission, which is to empower young Ugandans through service and skill development.<\/p>\n<p>The President accepted the role of patron for the Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s International Award Uganda, recognising the importance of nurturing the next generation of leaders and change-makers.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Airey reaffirmed the enduring bond between the UK and Uganda, emphasising the need for sustained collaboration across generations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
