Can one person really make a difference in the world? Twesigye Jackson Kaguri overcame tremendous odds as he followed his dream to build  schools, a clinic, clean water systems, libraries for AIDS orphans in his village in Uganda. This is his unforgettable story that has touched 43,000 orphans living with 7,301. 

Growing up on his family's small farm, Kaguri worked many hours each day for his taskmaster father, though he was lucky his parents were able to send him to school. Kaguri eventually became a visiting scholar at Columbia University. Returning to his home years later, he was overwhelmed by the plight of AIDS orphans and vowed to build them a tuition-free school. A School for My Village weaves together tales from Kaguri's youth and his inspiring account of building the school and changing the lives of many children.
 
He has been a Rotaract and Rotarian for combined 26 years, Past president of East Lansing Rotary club, three times Paul Harris Fellow, CNN Hero, Time Mgazine Power of one, and he has addressed the UN and will do again in July.
