The watoto who are living at the Leaders of Tomorrow Children's Home at UAACC are "some of the happiest; loving; creative children I've ever seen!" most people say within minutes after meeting them.

Under the mentorship of Mzee Pete O'Neal, founder of the Leaders Of Tomorrow Children's Home program and the UAACC family, these 21 children ranging in age from 5 to 15 have developed a real love of reading and learning and sharing.

They are confident with people from all walks of life as they learn to be citizens of the world...leaders of tomorrow!
