Age 8 – his father mysteriously “dies” in the Ugandan Civil War
His Mother, in so much pain, doesn’t speak for 4 years.

Age 12 – his beloved Mother passes away
her final words “don’t be scared, do what you need to do”

Age 13 – he’s up for adoption. Sitting in the room with 14 parents.
No one raises their hand to take him.
He’s alone.
Completely alone.

Age 14 – he meets and lives with an 83 year old called WyWy.
WyWy tells him:
“if you’re going to do it. DO IT. Don’t rush. But, Don’t wait”
3 weeks later, WyWy dies

Age 16 – he’s living alone. again.
All alone again.

He becomes a Don Cripps translator.
Don Cripps helps to him get to London.

Age 18 – he defies his “fate”. moves to London. Studies law.

Wycliffe Sande is a LIVING LEGEND.
THE definition of high agency.

A poddy filled with tears, joy, apathy, empathy.
Hope, so much hope.
never giving in.
never giving up.
always smiling.
always laughing.

Total honour bro.
