Prosper came to Spain six years ago. He had a tumour on his face. It was not malignant but it was very invasive and was becoming life-threatening.
Due to donations, particularly from the Vice President of Adelante Africa, José Luis Sanchez, a businessman from Valencia and the generosity of the Ramon y Cajal hospital in Madrid, the tumour was removed.
Prosper lost one of his eyes but went back to Uganda to study at secondary school, helped by a Spanish sponsor who continued to support him as he studied to be an electrician at the St Peter's Institute in Mubende.
Prosper is now taking his final exams. He has grown into a warm-hearted and responsible adult. Really one of the success stories of Adelante Africa.
Here he is with three other sponsored students also taking their final exams.
Prosper vino a España hace seis años. Tenía un tumor en la cara que, aunque no era maligno, era muy invasivo y estaba empezando a ser potencialmente letal.
Gracias a las donaciones, especialmente la del Vice Presidente de Adelante África, José Luis Sánchez, empresario de Valencia y a la generosidad del hospital Ramón y Cajal de Madrid, se le operó y quitó el tumor.
Prosper perdió un ojo, pero volvió a Uganda a estudiar secundaria, ayudado por un padrino Español que le siguió apoyando mientras estudiaba para ser electricista en el Instituto St Peter’s en Mubende.
Prosper está haciendo sus últimos exámenes. Se ha convertido en un adulto responsable y de buen corazón. Su historia constituye un gran éxito para Adelante África.
Aquí está, junto con otros tres estudiantes apadrinados, haciendo sus exámenes.
