Pompilla S. Agalo
Founder Heal One Child Initiative
Background
Receive warm regards from Heal One Child Initiative (HOCI). A membership initiative inspired by the life of Father John Scalabrini.
Father John, since his arrival in Uganda in 1962, informally adopted dozens of children, forming them into a large multi-generational family.
He was a zealous worker for northern Uganda region, where the LRA rebels cavorted and changed the traditional ways of life in the region. Until later, he was banned form the region.
I joined his family in the early millenium. He always told us, his adoptive kids, “To be illiterate is the worst type of poverty.” And, he gave us that love and wealth which is literacy.
After his demise in 2016, we are “Carrying on,” as he always said, with his legacy of educating vulnerable children. At HOCI, our task remains to preserve this legacy.
We are open to new donors, whether individuals or organizations. With art as a subgroup, authors donate a portion of their art proceeds, exhibited at designated centers in Uganda and overseas. The vision bearer, the author of The Faces in their Eyes, is a beneficiary of Father John’s charity, and the first benefactor (author) dedicating her book for this legacy.
Fr. John Scalabrini.
