On the 21 of September 2016, I found myself on a flight to the UK, to travel to the University of Warwick via the WTI office in Oxford to study in one of the greatest universities in the UK. I had no idea what to expect, although I knew this would academically progress my entire career.

Windle Trust International is delighted to report that one of our former students, Anthony Poggo, who is currently the Bishop of the Diocese of Kajo-Keji has been appointed by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to the role of adviser on Anglican Communion Affairs.

September and October are always our busiest months in the calendar, not only because we are receiving and welcoming new students, but also bidding goodbyes to the completing students. So, it’s a mixed bag of emotions – excitement and sadness!

When our UK Programme students come to the end of their studies, we welcome them back to Oxford again to celebrate their achievements, and prepare them a little for life back in their own countries.
