In Memory of Alice Akello
|
Last week we received the incredibly sad news that our dear Skybird, Alice Akello, has passed.
|
Alice was an integral part of the Skybird family, implementing a micro project at Uganda Red Cross Lira Branch in Cycle 1 and now also in Cycle 2.
|
Alice brought a lot of good to her community and will be missed dearly by all of us. To highlight Alice's impact and to honor her memory, we want to re-share this post that was written by her last October.
