Ongiya Calistus Nyeko is coming to the US of A!
He's been selected to participate in Invisible Children's 2nd Teacher Exchange Reciprocal Program. This program is for Ugandan teachers to spend 4 weeks teaching and learning in an American school.
Last January, my Ugandan co-teacher, Omony Alex, was selected for the pilot Reciprocal Program. Calistus will tell you that Alex came back changed and more motivated. It was an invaluable opportunity!!!
Calistus is the Keyo SS Head Teacher, the school where I taught at during the summer of 2009. I was part of the first group of IC TE/X teachers at Keyo SS. Calistus welcomed us into the Keyo family with open arms, a big smile and his huge heart and passion for education!!!! After I learned of Calistus's acceptance to the program, I called him. He was beyond estatic. Before I could even say "Congratulations", he said to me "Thank you for your prayers."
