Congratulations!
Thanks to generous scholarship support, Sylvia Kokunda and Kenneth Turyamubona both started at university this month. Sylvia is attending Uganda Christian University in Mukono, and Kenneth is at Bishop Barham College in Kabale. They are two of only three Batwa in the history of Uganda to attend university. We wish them the very best success and know they will be an inspiration to many!
