The Alums are Back!

Last week, for Uganda’s Independence Day (October 9), we had an Alumni Ice Cream Social where a few of our USP alums returned to tell our current students about their stories and journeys since USP and how the program impacted them.  All of these alums are back living and working in Uganda in some capacity.  Check out their stories below!
