Mukasa Joel,, He is 3 years old not school going. His mother died immediately she gave birth to the boy and the grand mother called Nalunga Sylvia 64 years old took over the care up to now. This never suckled his mother even a single day and as per that he became malnourished, the grand mother has struggled to make sure this boy survives. She sells banana leaves in the market where she collects them from the villages to the markets in the city. Though they don’t pay well, that is the only alternative. Besides she takes care of 9 children, 7 of them are grand children. She says that the way they got this boy was worse than that and to the people around there’s a great improvement. This boy’s father is there but he denies him and they don’t know his where about. The boy is 3 but you can think he is 1 year, he can’t move but can stand with support but not for long. The lady who takes care of this child is also crippled and no much is given to this child since the grand mother is on the move everyday to the market. This boy is malnourished still feeds on local food rich in only one food value which is not supportive for the child’s up bring making him retarded the more, This child needs to take at least a cap of milk a day to improve on his health. That is Joel when he tries to stand. So pitiful.The legs are so weak that he cant stand for along period, his whole body is heavy for the legs to support him upright., he is desperate as he is at times left alone as the young one neglect and despise him. We have managed to rescue some of this kind, with big berries, with wounds, malnourished and through the right feeding they are back to real life, but of course it has been with help from people like you who is reading this story. soon i will post successful stories of such children, even him can be changed and given life. if not this child could die, but i believe he will not die.
