A warrior living with albinism

This is Mr. Tumo Luka, the man who taught me what it meant to accept and love yourself.

He is living with albinism but like many others, he does not let it define who he is.

He is smart and very patient with people, regardless of how one treats him.

He is the founder of Worth Holding Youth, which is an organization that helps raise awareness about different skin conditions like his.

Albinism, also called achromasia is a group of inherited disorders characterised by little or no melanin production and is usually self-diagonasable.

Although it lasts for years and can cause its victims to be vulnerable to cancer, Mr. Luka is one of the people who does not let his skin condition stand in his way as he is continuing to thrive.

Today he runs a supplementary school where he with others help pupils who were not fortunate enough to perform well in their external examinations.

He aspires to be a doctor someday and his commitment to education will not only get him far but he is also guaranteed to succeed.
