Your presence is highly appreciated.

Stuart has had a career as a commercial and editorial photographer over the last 50 years or so. He started working with Robert Fritz in the early 80’s at the house in Chelsea, and taught DMA for several years. His first visit to Uganda was in the mid 1980's with Han and Silvana, before URDT moved to Kagadi. He is friendly with the Musheshe family and eager to see the African Rural University (ARU) model reach a wider population in Africa. Stuart will reminisce about the early days of URDT.

It was such an honor!
