Eight years later, he's a Vanderbilt University Medical School graduate preparing for his residency. In his home village of Lwala, a clinic he and younger brother Fred established serves about 100 patients a day.
A documentary about their struggles to raise $150,000 to build the clinic — while attending school full-time and coping with their parents' deaths — will soon be screened at universities across the country.

This is the sort of story that makes me feel a little bit lazy. I work my 9 to 5, pay my bills and live well but these guys are all out to improve the world for others. It must have take true grit and determination to achieve so much in a short space of time. Raising money is never easy and they should be incredibly proud of themselves.
I on the other hand need to do more.

What a beautiful sense of family and community the Ochieng's and their village have.
I agree, this should be turned into a VC^2 pod.
