Okello Kelo Sam is a motivating example of the power of human drive and positive attitude. Sam finds hope and humor even at the brink of death, and he motivates us to discover what drives our own passions, inspiring us to feel good by doing good. Says Okello, “I will not even think of failing. I will not even think of stopping. Because if we all had a challenge and stopped, then what would happen?”   – excerpt from “Hope North Bio”
