I thought there was no longer no life or future for me, I was crying every night for my self and my brothers this was because 3 of my brothers finished primary level and all ended there because there is no one to pay for them, My mother died without telling any of us who our father is and this is the reason why we are all living seperately from each other, I am living with some family who used to be our neighbour before my mom died. I even do not know very clearly which tribe I belong to from Uganda but I know one thing that iam a Ugandan by nationality and a child of God. For my side God has help me and iam very happy to be at secondary school, I still feel bad about my older brother because he has turn up to drinking alcohol now due to frustration of life. I am very happy for the sponsorship I am receiving because it has given me hope for the future and for life, I would like to read hard and continue up to where shalom will end with me, I pray that God help me so that I finished my education and when I finished I would like to help my brothers who have now given up with education , others are now on street.

I have learnt that God is with me even though had a very hard time, iam happy he has also provided me a place to leave, they do not treat me so well but I humble my self and except my situation , iam praying that God provide me another place ( home ) where I can be accepted and supported with basic needs like what shalom is doing, iam also praying that God help me to know my father wheather he is dead or alive

God, help the orphans, needy and the poor…
