2010 ChildrenUP Student 2010 Meeting Okello Francis Okello Francis Okello Francis was a gracious host as the family greeted Allan and Charlie at the family compound when they visited with news that Okello Francis was being supported by ChildrenUP. Okello was quiet in demeanor yet most pleased by the news of his support. In his first month at Sir Samuel Baker School he scored a perfect paper in mathematics! Way to go Okello! There is a short video of the visit to his family compound on our website. 2011 UPdate on Okello Francis
We are very proud that Churchville Middle School in Elmhurst, Illinois sponsors Okello Francis. Proceeds from their snack bar and arts events go to supporting this wonderful young man. And Francis has responded well. He is the top ranked student at Sir Samuel Baker Secondary School!

When we arrived at Okello Francis’ home many in the family were farming a distance away. A sibling went to tell them that we had arrived. The family was very thankful that we came and we had a pleasant meeting. At the end of the meeting, the family wanted to say thank you with a presentation of a chicken. The video footage of the boys in the family running and chasing the chickens was delightful. Eventually the chicken was captured and formally presented to us.
