He worked with village elders, the local hospital, local police and others to create the center. In addition to the $10,000 grant from the Davis Projects for Peace, Salukombo raised other monies to support the Torrens Learning Center, named in honor of Phil Torrens, Salukombo’s cross-country coach and surrogate parent at Denison.
