Kampala, Uganda

I come from a family of four girls and one boy. Three years ago my parents died and the Director of Peace School brought me here to live. I don’t know what has become of my sisters and brother, I have not seen them since I came here and I don’t know where they are.   I live in the Girl’s Dormitory at Peace School. There are eight other girls here and our teacher Mrs. Oliver.   My best friend is Sherin. We pray, talk and study together. On Sunday’s I go with Sherin to church nearby. That is one of the few times I leave the school compound.   I like living at Peace School because the teachers are kind and the grounds are kept very clean. Every day we clean our rooms and the playground. We wash our clothes every couple of days.   My favorite subject is Science. I hope to be a nurse someday. I would like to help sick people become well. I hope you can help me continue my studies so my dream of being a nurse can come true.   Note: Peace Nursery and Primary School is a privat...

Kampala, Uganda

My name is Joy Namubiru, and I live in the village. I will tell you a little about my family. I have one brother Josh, and he is twelve years old. I also have two sisters, Sofia, who is ten, and Jane who is seven. Then there is me. Sometime people think Jane and I are twins because we look a like. My mommy was killed by a group of thieves who thought she had money when she was returning from fetching water at the river. My father was killed in a car accident. I miss my parents very much. My grandpa is a farmer, and my siblings and I help him work in the field. My grandpa loves me very much because I am the youngest. I love my brothers because they make me smile, and we play a lot of games. I want to go to school, but my grandpa says that we don’t have enough money. He says that we need to buy me shoes first because the school is far away. When the white people came from America, they gave me a skirt and flip flops. I love my flip flops because they are my first pair of shoes, and ...

Kampala, Uganda

My name is Grace Nakisozi. I am eight years old and the youngest child in my family. My family and I live in the village several miles away from the Circle of Peace School. I have one sister. Her name is Jessica, and she is nine years old. Several years ago, my father was eaten by a crocodile as we were getting water from the river. After I saw the crocodile eat my father, I was in shock and could not speak or hear for six months. I am starting to hear and speak again; however, it is very difficult. Soon after my father died, my mother passed away after she became really sick. Now I live with my grandmother who raises me and my brother and sister. My sister and I help my grandmother pick food. I love to go to the Circle of Peace School because I want to have a better life and be better able to help my family, like the other students at my school. The Circle of Peace School is my new family, and I promise to work hard in school. My dream is to build a well for my village so that my f...

I am first born in a family of 8 children. I would like to go to university and eventually become a nurse. However, my parents passed away years ago, so they cannot help me pay for my education. I am turning to Keframa College and its donors to help me achieve my goals.
