overview

Growing up in rural Uganda, Twesigye Jackson Kaguri overcame poverty to earn a degree from the national university, eventually pursuing studies in New York. When he returned to his village, he was overwhelmed by the plight of his village's many AIDS orphans and vowed to open the first tuition-free school in the district for these children. "The Price of Stones" is the stirring story behind the founding of the Nyaka AIDS Orphans School, and will captivate all readers of "Three Cups of Tea."
