Uganda refugee

A man named Walter Lam came to our class and told us about his life in Uganda and how he became a refugee from Uganda and ended up in San Diego. His story starts out he is coming back from school and his neighbor warned him not to go back to his house Walter asked him why and he said that the police of Uganda is waiting for him and is going to arrest him so Walter then decides to stay with this man but he then gets worried the police will find him so he flees to Kenya. His dream was to become a doctor so he can help people so he goes back to Uganda and goes to college but he ends up having to flee once again to Kenya and has to leave his wife and kids behind but his wife decides to try to flee so they did but they end up losing there son who was killed. Walter then gets a opportunity to become part of the government and help his people but finds out there are these rebels who are fighting the government and end up taking over the government so he flees for a third time and lives in Kenya.One day in Kenya Walter finds out that the people who he fled with were found and taken back to Uganda so Walter decides to get farther away from Uganda so he goes to Italy were he stays and goes to San Diego and finds out how much things we have to give that his Country has never even close to having the things we have so to him the United states is heaven on earth. He starts a Job as a security guard and starts a program about helping kids in Uganda get a education. In Uganda school is not a top priority so it costs a lot of money. When the people finish high school they come here to start a new life and find out that just in a apartment its heaven because the huts that people live in Uganda are about the size of your bathroom imagine that. Also the way people get water is they have to wait in a line the hole day and only get a bucket full of drinkable water to drink. and no one has a private bathroom they all have to go in a small outhouse imagine that? a small one stall bathroom that more than 1000 people use that you have to use. so when the people come to the United states they cant believe the things they have in a small apartment like a good bed and a shower but when people who were born here see these things they complain that the showers to small or the bed isn't comfy but to these refugees its like a dream come true. This man has changed my life because now i really now that I am gifted to have fresh water anytime or that I have a nice bed to sleep on or a T.V. and now i know that I am lucky to have any of these things and also that I now that I am a person that can have a good life. So the next time you have anything that you are about to complain about just remember the People in Uganda who don't have the luxury to use any of this so please remember this man Walter Lam because he is a hero for the people in Uganda.
