I love my students, and I could feel their love in return. The highlight was greeting students and their families in person after the ceremony, hugging, taking pictures together, reconnecting and sharing memories. When I told Daniel, one of our graduates, that Kristi and I will miss them as we will be transitioning from South Sudan, he said to me, “South Sudan will not miss you, Ustaz Bob Rice. We will come find you!” Enjoy the various photos from the day below...

Changkuoth hits his stride with diploma in one hand and his son in the other
Standing with graduate Changkuoth Kulang Luak who finished at the top of his class. I have appreciated Changkuoth's helpful engagement in the classes I have taught. He is an outstanding student, one who appreciates and values his Nuer people and culture , finding ways to live out the Christian faith as a member of his community, thoughtfully and prophetically.
