Yesterday I had the privilege
of attending the 65th Annual Makerere University Graduation of one of Change
The Truth’s sponsored students. Wasswa Nelson joined 13,770 other students in
graduating this year from Uganda’s oldest and largest public University. Truly
a remarkable achievement here in Uganda!! Nelson graduated with his Bachelor
Degree in Computer Sciences, and trust me, the future of this young man is very
bright.
Due to the masses of graduates,
Nelson only received an invitation for 2 people to attend his graduation
ceremony, so Joan Faith and I were incredibly honored to be those invited.
There were so many graduates that each student received only a brief individual
moment of acknowledgement when their name was read amongst the other graduates
in their particular program. But when that moment came, the emotions of pride
in Nelson and his accomplishment was completely overwhelming!
Nelson is one of the most
ambitious young people I have ever known, but here in Uganda that ambition
accompanies LOTS of hard work. Nelson is not afraid of hard-work, long hours,
diligence, and maximizing every opportunity. I look forward to seeing where
life will take Nelson next… it will be excellent!!
Congratulations to Nelson!!
Congratulations to Nelson!!
