"Mr. Kalyango is one of the most kind, hardworking, courageous people I met while in Uganda. You would never know it by seeing this photograph, but his legs are completely useless and he uses a humble wheel chair or drags his body around with his strong arms. He has overcome tremendous, seemingly insurmountable obstacles to educate himself and start this school. Because he understands the challenges associated with physical disabilities, the school he started takes in many who also have disabilities. The children were loving and helpful to one another. The light you see in Mr. Kalyango's face is shared with all his students. He is a true hero." Tricia
