When I arrived at Flobbetto Primary SCHOOL-HOIMA, I met the twins and I was touched by their story. Their mum was killed by their father and was sent for life imprisonment. So touching.
True to the old saying “it takes a village to raise a child” I would like to thank the Flobetto Primary School Administrators that have always looked out for Peter and Paul, they have met every single requirement that I have always wanted for the Twins. Many thanks to the Shoes Community Support for the donation of school shoes to the boys until P7.
I consider myself a vessel being used to love and care for Paul. I lost my mother at a tender age but I was very blessed to be taken in mentored and Natured by another “mother” she is still doing so.
Growing up, I knew that I had to extend this favour to that one child who might be facing the same circumstances that I grew in.
Paul and Peter were in a far worse situation as narrated by Henry Nyakana, after seeing them at my Sister’s mother -law, on Easter Sunday, 2017, I couldn’t sleep well again, I prayed that the thought of them could disappear, the more it got stronger, I talked to my friends and relatives about them but no one was going through what I was experiencing.
My life plan was one child not two. Those who know Peter and Paul can tell you that these boys are inseparable from each other. One is always leaning on the other, a silent communication that “we are one”
Henry Nyakana sent me a message on mother’s day 2017 and that is when it dawned on me that I should take my calling seriously.
I put them in a boarding school during the second term of that year. Having come from a UPE primary school, they were demoted a few classes down they needed more help with academics so, I had to include monthly private coaching of Maths and English as they didn’t know how to read nor write.
I got my peace with God. The twins have never disappointed me as they’re excelling every year.
Living abroad, the most instrumental person in the lives of Peter and Paul is Henry Nyakana and his later Father, Uncle Simon who would help them with their holiday work.
Many thanks to you all, as every little help to the less fortunate of our own goes a long way and makes our society a better place to live.
