Message to Bishop Lynch High School from Uganda

This is a message from a university graduate in Kampala, Uganda to Ms. Osborne's theology class at Bishop Lynch High School in Dallas, Texas. Her family is from northern Uganda and most of them were killed when their entire town was destroyed the LRA. She was supported most of her childhood by Compassion International through a sponsor in Oregon. When she graduated high school another sponsor from the U.S. provided a university education for her through Compassion's Leadership Development program. She graduated in 2006 and works in a Compassion project in Kampala. She's also the secretary of Kampala's newly formed Compassion alumni group and will be studying for the next two years to obtain a more specialized degree focusing on HIV/AIDS.
