CHANGE MAKER

A ONE-MONTH ASSIGNMENT in 1998 as a volunteer HIV-prevention educator in Africa forever altered SOLES doctoral candidate Nathaniel Dunigan’s life path. He came home to the U.S., resigned from his job and leveraged nearly all of his worldly possessions in order to fund Aidchild (www.aidchild.org), a nonprofit HIV/AIDS pediatric care organization that serves children and families in Uganda. Recently, Aidchild partnered with the San Diego-based Enlightened Hospitality Group — founded by Stingaree owner James Brennan ‘96 — to start a restaurant in Uganda. Read more about Dunigan’s endeavors and see more of his photos, like the one above, at http://nathanieldunigan.com.
