She was paid ½ kg of rice for the work she did. But this food was not enough to feed all the children. Therefore, I and my brothers started going on the streets to look for food. We picked the left over food stuffs at the market area in the mornings and in the afternoons we went to beg for money at the bus park. Whatever we got or found in the market was taken home to our grandmother.
The little money we got was used to pay house rent. CRO found me and my brothers on the streets in 2006. We were counselled, and later enrolled for rehabilitation program. I was quiet, pale and malnourished. I also had several wounds on my head. It was not easy for me to play. However, during rehabilitation, I quickly changed. My health improved, and I became very active in the class. In February 2007, I was enrolled in formal school. I am currently in P3 in Nabuyonga Primary School. My academic performance is good. I like playing football, and I always have a smile for everyone. When I grow up I want to become a mechanic.
