Meet YPARD Mentee: Honorine Uwera

Growing up, I didn’t dream to be an agricultural engineer. I wanted to be an engineer in science technologies, but it did not occur to me that I would be a professional agronomist. After finishing High school, I was at admitted the Higher Institute of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry to study agriculture. I was upset. I didn’t expect  to study agriculture in my life. People close to me  kept saying that agriculture is a good option but for me ,at that time I didn’t see the good in it.

Anyway, i went to study agriculture with a broken heart but day after day I came to realise how great agriculture is. In the end , i graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Soil and Water Management department, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and Environmental sciences at ISAE-BUSOGO (Higher Institute of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry).
