Dr. China Paul Mayol, MD

China Paul Mayol, the oldest of five children has set a great example for his younger siblings.

China was Hope and Resurrection's 2013 valedictorian and the highest scoring student on the national exam in the entire nation of South Sudan. Through perseverance and the support of friends, he is now studying medicine at Kampala International University. (Medical school is structured differently in much of Africa. There, students can enroll directly from secondary school.) So in just a few short years, China has journeyed from living in a tukul, to learning and growing at Hope and Resurrection, to studying and practicing medicine.

China says the foundation he received at Hope and Resurrection Secondary School enabled him to study medicine at KIU.
