Grace Akallo Launches "Gift of Grace" - her own scholarship program to benefit girls in Northern Uganda whose lives have been affected by the conflict and unrest. Grace has always treasured the goal of attending school now and when she was a small child. After returning from captivity Grace was graciously able to return to high school and attend Uganda Christian University in Kampala. Next steps lead her to finish up her college studies at Gordon College in Wenham, MA.  She has had many benefactors and graceful and prayerful friends help make this possible in her life. Now Grace wants to help her friends back at home.
 
We'll update this site as more information becomes available about this program. She plans to call this undertaking -- "Gift of Grace" - to honor the gracious God who has held her in the palm of His hand and makes all things possible.
