We are profoundly humbled by news that the kin of late Dr. Paul Hargrave are continuing his legacy of kindness. A legacy that bequeathed disadvantaged people of Uganda the Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre of CPAR Uganda, in Lira City, in Northern Uganda.
Last month, we received notification of a legacy grant left to Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief (CPAR) with the wish that it be used to support the Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre.
We are excited that this will provide us with the requisite seed funds to establish, among other initiatives, a Research Innovation Lab at our Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre this year.
A centre of excellence through which students and early career researchers will be mentored and endowed with transferrable sills in conducting qualitative research studies.
And to become the spokespersons for their respective disadvantaged communities advocating for public services provision.
The pilot and first cohort of beneficiaries will focus on skilling to generate good quality data, the basis on which suitable and adaptable technologies may be developed to fight tuberculosis.
A befitting way to honour the memory of Dr. Paul Hargrave, using the legacy grant to establish and grow a cadre of consciously awakened citizens who proactively conduct empirical knowledge and fact-based policy advocacy campaigns for the greater good of disadvantaged communities.
We ask you to join us on this journey. Please make a donation in support of students from disadvantaged backgrounds to subsidize their mentoring costs into active citizens for the greater good of their communities.
Thank you.
