Okello Kelo Sam, former child soldier and visionary founder of Cause Effect Agency client Hope North, recently led 70 executives and managers of Aegis Living through a self-realization workshop, including an initiation into Ugandan drum circle and dance. Aegis Living Founder and CEO Dwayne Clark says he was “humbled by the compassion that came from such a courageous hero. Okello’s fun-loving attitude and positive energy is contagious.”
