Two young inspirational children I met 11years in a small village school in Uganda , said to me “ one day I want to come to England to go to your university “ both being 9 & 11 years of age .
I told them that if they worked hard maybe this could be possible , not wanting to dampen there spirits and enthusiasm, but guess what. both with a little help from a sponsor and a little influence from me , and yes a huge amount of hard work and dedication from them both , one graduated from Manchester , last year , the other joins oxford this year , Totally there achievement not mine

That is an incredible story, thank you for sharing it with us. I sponsor a child in Uganda and make children's clothing from donated fabric. They have so little over there, it is humbling. @Wishingwellguy
