Washi Ronald

Washi Ronald has been able to overcome circumstances placed on him by other people’s actions. His father was wrongfully convicted of a crime and placed in prison. His mother abandoned him and his 12 siblings to remarry. Lacking medication, clothes, and a decent education, Ronald learned to do odd jobs in his village. After being enrolled in school, Ronald not only excelled in the classroom but also served as an active member in Scripture Union, A.I.D.S. Challenge Youth Club, Interact Club, Volunteers with CRO, and acts as a deputy Chief Advisor of a peer group.

Ronald’s CROSO Scholarship:

On the road to becoming a lawyer, Ronald has already completed a diploma in legal foundations and is currently enrolled in the Islamic University in Uganda Kampala working towards achieving a Bachelor of Laws degree. Ronald is very excited about the classes he has taken, such as the Law of Banking, the Law of Business, and Criminal Procedure. Ronald is very committed to his faith, and believes that through God, he will excel in his education.

Ronald’s Vision for the Future:

Ronald “wants to work in the legal field so [he] can be able to administer justice to all people in the courts of [his] country, advocate for the rights and freedoms of the minority group of people, fight against corruption and injustices in Judiciary”.

Ronald’s visions have been set high, as he dreams of opening his own law firm in order to give legal help to others. His hard-work and passion for helping others is evident in all he has overcome as well as his goal of “saving the situation in [his] country” as he notes in his application.
