His late brother, Douglas Sipendi, was waiting to graduate with a degree in Communication for Development.
Sadly, 20-year-old Hercules said his elder brother contracted tuberculosis in June 2021 and passed away in March 2022 – a month before his graduation.
From Upper Mendi, Hercules’ parents are subsistence farmers who worked hard to put food on the table as well as support their six children’s education.
Douglas was the first child to continue to university from Sogeri National High School. He was the pride and joy of his family and clan.
