After 32 hours of traveling, Shakiib Wauyo and Emmanuel Epau made it to Austin, Texas from Uganda in East Africa.
"It was really fun, getting to see how New York and getting to see how these buildings from the air, it was something very impressive at night," Wauyo said.
Wauyo finally made it with Epau to St. Edward's University in Austin after having to study online in Uganda last year because of COVID travel restrictions. The St. Edward's University community helped raise the funds to cover their education. Epau and Wauyo said this is an opportunity they won't take for granted.
Epau is studying business administration and marketing. "It’s to literally explore all the businesses around to see how we can improve the businesses we’re already trying to start at home to create more jobs at home, so our people’s lives get better," Epau said.
