Our
Students
Christopher
Rugadya
A
very bright student, Christopher, along with his sister
Jane, are the only Educate! students who are not refugees.
Educate! felt that due to his and his sister's academic
excellence and potential, they deserved an Educate!
scholarship, even though we typically only offer them
for refugees.
Christopher
is currently in his first year of Advanced Level at
Duhaga Secondary School. He is specializing in the
sciences and hopes to become a doctor in the future.
A
very skilled linguist, Christopher was appointed by
Unicef to teach adolescents about STD's. He now travels
on the bicycle Unicef gave him and teaches other youth
about the dangers of STD's and on the methods of protecting
themselves. Christopher initially had STD training
in Ordinary level when he was secretary of the Straight
Talk Club but has since taken classes from Unicef.
He is particularly qualified for this job because
he speaks seven languages - English, Kishwahiili,
Runyoro, Alur, A choli, Rugungu, Lendu, and Langi.
In
addition to his studies and his work for Unicef, Christopher
enjoys playing indoor and outdoor sports, such as
soccer, ludo, snakes and ladder, scrabble. Christopher
also likes to listen to slow music such as Gospel
and loves traveling and reading story books and novels.
"With
Educate, mere words can not explain how much good
things it has so far done and still doing to me because
my future is Education, which Educate has freely offered
to me."
