I am very passionate about helping others in need. I hold degrees in Computer Science and Philosophy. I start graduate school this fall, 2008.

The desire to serve underprivilleged children and people in rural Africa, I co-found a non-profit charity, Uganda Rural Fund USA, Inc (URF).

URF is a 501(c)(3) charity that was formed to focus on creating educational and sustainable development opportunities for orphans, impoverished youth, and women in Uganda's rural communities. We support the Nazareth Children's Home for 17 kids, after-school program, women empowerment programs, youth leadership and community engagement, chicken project, piggery project, water and sanitation, and community outreach. The Hope Integrated Academy is an education initiative involving vocational training programs, secondary education, a community library, computer center (with free Internet services), entrepreneurship and leadership center, a science center with laboratories, youth resource center, and a medical clinic. All these services were previously not readily available to the community.

We welcome individuals interested in charity causes who may want to work with us here in the U.S or volunteer in Uganda on several of projects.

While in college I formed two student clubs: Global AIDS Awareness Organization and African Students & Friends of Africa Association. I am also involved in Amnest International Chapter and student government. Two years ago I established a service learning program for college students to volunteer with AIDS organizations in Africa(Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda).
