'''Ocer Campion Jesuit College''' is a co-educational, boarding high school opened by the [[Jesuits]] in 2010 in [[Gulu]], [[Uganda]]. |
|||
==Founding== |
|||
The school sits on 98.5 acres donated by a local family.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ocercampion.org/ThePlan.php|title=The Plan|website=ocercampion.org|access-date=2016-11-27}}</ref> It is envisaged that Ocer Campion will accommodate about 1200 students, in an area emerging from [[Lord's Resistance Army insurgency|20 years of war]]. Funds for the school have come from Jesuit headquarters in Rome and in East Africa, from Campion Alumni in [[Milwaukee]],<ref name="camp">{{Cite web|url=http://www.campionforever.org/newsletterfiles/1-13/OCER/OCER_Nov2012.html|title=OCER|website=www.campionforever.org|access-date=2016-11-27}}</ref> and from an [[American Schools and Hospitals Abroad]] grant of US$500,000 for a home economics and dining facility, among other buildings.<ref>[https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1866/2011%20USAID-ASHA-Annual%20Report.pdf ASHA, USAID 2011 Report.

==Vision== |
|||
Many students have come from [[Internally displaced person|IDP]] camps where they roamed without discipline. The school offers a year of primary education to prepare students for high school. Transforming student behavior and forming character is an important goal of the school. Each teacher mentors about 10 students. The school takes in students from the war-torn north of Uganda as well as from the south to create understanding and unify these different parts of society through "[[:sw:Ndugu|Ndugu/brotherhood]]". [[Colonialism]] divided the people but English now serves as a language that can unite them. Students of various clans and skin colors learn that they are much the same and can get along together. The ultimate goal of the school would be to train future leaders for the country who will be upright and shun corruption. The school's motto is "learn, love & serve."<ref name="george">{{Cite web|url=http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/interviews/a-discussion-with-john-mary-kirangwa-dean-of-students-and-teacher-ocer-campion-jesuit-college-gulu-uganda|title=A Discussion with John Mary Kirangwa, Dean of Students and Teacher, OCER Campion Jesuit College, Gulu, Uganda|website=berkleycenter.georgetown.edu|access-date=2016-11-27}}</ref> |
