Scroll down to view more information about the book!Preview the book!TEN DAYS: AN AMERICAN VISITS A SECONDARY SCHOOL IN NORTHERN UGANDAby Robert James Ruhf and Betty Pacutho UdongoBOOK DESCRIPTION: Betty Pacutho Udongo was an elected member of the Ugandan Parliament when she founded the Nebbi Standard Academy, a secondary school in Northern Uganda. The school was founded to serve the needs of students in the region, but quickly became much more when orphans from a nearby refugee camp started to arrive after receiving word that they would not be turned away. "Ten Days: An American Visits a Secondary School in Northern Uganda" chronicles the real-life journey of Robert James Ruhf, an American academic, who visited the school in 2010. In doing so, it also unfolds descriptions of Betty's experiences growing up in an environment of war, how she came to found the school, and of the hardships that were being faced by students and families in Northern Uganda at the time of Robert's visit. More than anything else, this is a story about hope in the midst of sorrow, particularly the hope that comes from bringing educational opportunities to children who have been forgotten by the world.The book is currently available in Kindle, paperback, and audio versions:Buy paperback versionBuy Kindle versionBuy audiobook version!Read a preview of the book!"The sun doesn't rise or fall; it just sits there, andwe rotate in front of it. The sun never 'goes away' from the sky. It'sstill there sharing the same sky with us; it's simply that there's achunck of opaque earth between us and the sun which prevents us fromseeing it. No longer do I drive down a highway and wish the blindingsun would set; instead I wish we could speed up our rotation a bit andswing around into the shadows more quickly." ---(Michael Collins)
