Just a note about the speaker, UoG Alumnus Paul Wel (CDE/OAC class of 2012) is an inspiring individual working in one of the most difficult conflict areas of Africa (South Sudan). Before studying at UoG Paul worked/lived many years in the Darfur Refugee Camp. He has recently returned to Canada due to the insecurity of his work with re-training former soldiers in agriculture and agroforestry, a USAID program. He aims to start a PhD with Texas A&M.
