“my story”
I was born in African-Uganda.I loved to play soccer (Football) but i was scared to lose my toenails because could not afford pair of shoes. Therefore, i changed the sports to volleyball which was less intense than soccer. I also loved music and playing instruments such as Xylophones, long drums (Engalabi) were my favorite instrument to play at school.
When i was 11 years old World Vision Uganda- a non profit organisation stepped in as my sponsor because my family could not afford paying for my school.
In 2006, I was 12 years old when i graduated primary school (8th grade)
In 2007, at 13 years old, I joined high school until i graduated in 2010 at 16 years old. When I graduated, left my parents and moved to kampala-capital city of Uganda to start working.
In 2011, I joined Nakaseke primary teachers college to become a primary school teacher following the path of my father.
