During a second trip in 2011 a chance encounter led him to Kibera, Africa's largest slum. There he was greeted by a large group of shoeless children, mostly orphans, learning in a shack precariously near Kibera's largest waste dump and just meters from the hazard of the Uganda Railway. Inspired by the local volunteer teachers' dedication to serving their youth, the children's joy and thirst for learning, it seemed that need and fate linked his own heart of service and love of learning to be applied, now.
