One of the biggest surprises that I had at the St. Thomas Moore School was seeing Robert Ogwete for the first time in about four years. I met Robert on my first visit to the school in 2008. He was an orphan who was dirt poor but hungry to attend school and learn. Alex, the headmaster, was actually helping him pay for his tuition. Many of us on that trip collected money to pay for the remainder of his tuition for that year. In 2009, the first Vision Trip our church took, we collected enough money to pay for his tuition for that year as well.
Robert graduated from St. Thomas Moore and then attended a teacher's college. He had wanted to attend a four year university but wasn't able to find the funds to pay for it. But he has graduated from the teacher's college and is now teaching at another school in the Gulu district. It was such a joy to see him!
