Alpha Bugembe grew up in an orphanage in war-torn Uganda, where his mother worked and cared for children. She taught him many lessons, like the value of every human life and the need for communities to care for one another. When Alpha was sponsored by a Canadian family at the age of twelve and moved to Surrey, BC, Canada, he determined to treasure these concepts and apply the principles he leaned in this new country. At nineteen, Alpha used what little money he had to connect with people in his community. He rented a gym once a week, bought as much pizza and snacks as he could, and invited youth to come hear him speak. Today, he is the founder of Help Change My City, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the least, the lost, and the lonely. Alpha has dedicated his life to giving back to others and to making a difference wherever he goes. More than anything, he wants to encourage people to get involved. Through the simple act of loving others, Alpha believes broken lives can be saved.
