University of Richmond graduate student Joanita Senoga, pictured here with her daughter, Rosie, opened the Circle of Peace School in Uganda with help from her family.

“Joanita is one of these extremely big-hearted persons that wants to help you. You just can’t say no to her,” said Ahead Energy CEO and President M.J. Ebenhack. “She is a very impressive person.”

Senoga’s eldest daughter, Josie Senoga, is a 20-year-old sophomore at Richmond and praises her mom as a role model for “success.”

“Education is first and foremost in my mom’s life and is a great foundation for us,” said Josie, who’s pursuing a double major in leadership and psychology. “She went through a lot and it definitely makes me motivated. I want to be as successful as her and change the world as she has.”
