Thomas Awiapo has a truly inspiring story of survival and success. Orphaned before the age of ten, Thomas endured bleak poverty and hunger in his small African village in Ghana until Operation Rice Bowl saved his life through a food program at a school started by CRS. He eventually won scholarships to attend college and later earned a Master's degree from California State University.
His story of initiative and his joyful presence has brought inspiration to thousands of people in the U.S. Thomas is in the U.S. visiting schools and parishes during Lent to thank U.S. Catholics for participating in Operation Rice Bowl.
