Gift from Dr. Hargrave (RIP) that keeps on giving

We, at CPAR Uganda Ltd, would like to re-connect with the family and the descendants of the late Dr. Paul David Hargrave (1952-1998). We want to share with them how the gift that Dr. Hargrave gave us, keeps on giving. Our Lira Learning Centre, constructed over a decade ago, while CPAR Uganda was a country programme of the Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief (CPAR), blossoms.

Dr. Hargrave made a significant financial contribution towards the construction of one of the buildings at our centre – the one in the fore of the picture.

Even when bad people took advantage of the first lock down in Uganda that was put in place because of the Covid-19 pandemic, raided, vandalized and stole from our centre, we found some resources, including a donation from the GlobalGiving Foundation, and were able to renovate it. We continue to host major projects at our Lira Learning Centre, such as:

Mentoring young adults into innovators against poverty

The only information that we have that may lead to us reconnecting with the family and the descendants of Dr. Hargrave is that his photo which we have, was taken by S. Hargrave on December 20, 1997 in Vancouver BC. Canada.

Thank you Dr. Hargrave. May your soul continue to rest in eternal peace, we pray.
