On Monday, September 19, 2011, the Syracuse Diocesan newspaper, "The Catholic Sun," printed an article about Le Moyne College and St. Josephs' Primary School here in Gulu. I am featured in the article because I have been instrumental in helping with the project which created books for the use of the children here. I am posting the link to the article. I think the article is pretty self-explanatory.

You should see the bo
oks and the children with those books! The young man holding the book in the newspaper photo is the same fellow whose photo I had taken back in 2008 when he was in P4. That photo was printed in one of the books (bottom left corner as you view it in the paper).You should have seen his face and those of his classmates when he realized his picture was in the book! I didn't have my camera on, but it would have shown only the "bottoms-up" view of many kids who were climbing on the desks to see over the top of others who were closer!
I'm posting a few photos since only one got printed in the paper. What you really see is the intensity of interest and joy at handling a book like this! Thanks, again, to Sr. Diane and all those Le Moyne students who dedicated so much time and energy to this project! "Apwoyo matek!"
