What UCO Students Said

Every effort UCO provides in partnership with Sister Rosemary grows into something even more remarkable than originally imagined. Sister Rosemary is a one-of-a-kind leader to work alongside, and she shares immense wisdom with everyone she encounters. Through my experiences in Uganda, I have learned about the power one individual has to contribute to solving a world issue. The student interest at St. Monica’s has become exponential, and it is so encouraging to see this opportunity continue.

My time spent in Uganda was incredible — the kind of experience that changes your life forever. I cannot even put into words the impact that the country, and the people who inhabit it, had on my heart, my life and my future. My passion for people living in underdeveloped countries was further ignited as I got to spend my days living life the way the people in Gulu do; each day I spent in the country, and each soul that I met, inspired me to pursue my vision and spend the rest of my life alongside others who are promoting the support and advancement of this country that is so dear to me.
