| Term Start | January 2007 |
| David's Experience: David's childhood in Uganda sparked a passion for both spiritual and social poverty alleviation. Growing up in village orphanages of Uganda and Kenya, David joined the African Children's Choir at the age of 9, and toured Europe and North America. David attended college in India and the US, and worked in banking and finance in the San Francisco Bay Area. David completed his MDiv at Vanderbilt University. "I believe that when we give orphaned and at-risk children a place to call home, a school to attend, and a family to belong to, we hold fidelity to the essence of living.' Since 2005, when David and Marlene shared the Raise the Roof vision with two friends, he has continued to mobilize the RTRA community as a visible witness that the millions of orphaned and at-risk children in the world need compassionate friends and strangers to join in their journey out of poverty in practical ways. David feels privileged to speak for Raise the Roof initiatives, coordinate RTRA International teams, and serve on the RTRA Board. | |
