SSETIMBA ANDREW
Andrew is 7 years and he began school this year. All those years he had spent them without going to school. Her mother is young and has no job to support her family. The father to Andrew impregnated his mother and left her before Andrew was born and disappeared. When schools resumed, Andrew stayed home cause her mother wouldn’t get money to pay andrew’s school fees and even buy food for themselves. Andrew would be moving all around the village collecting scrap to sell and buy something to eat since they could not eat at home or the village people would invite him to eat together. On one of our outreaches to the community, we met Andrew and through our interactions with him we invited him for centre day- mentorship classes and he is now in Kindergarten 4. Andrew is loving, amazing, very intelligent and dreams of becoming a professional
doctor in future.
