MY LIFE

Dakta Okom - The Tree Stump

My Life. Dakta Okom-The Tree Stump is an autobiography of the first Ophthalmic Clinical Officer of Kitgum district who rises from the family of a peasant and porter to find financial liberation in education.

This is a story of grit, tenacity and resilience of a man facing generational abject poverty and unwavering resolve to break ranks with his past and secure a date with prosperity in his future.

After 3 generations, the death of a son over failure to pay fees inspires a family to break the poverty jinx by educating a son to become an Ophthalmic Clinical Officer.
