The weather today has been very cool and it had rained a little bit immediately after I arrived at Garden City. On my way to the bar, strong wind blowing straight at the Boda made me feel that we would never be able to make the journey. The stronger the wind, the faster the Boda Boda man wanted to ride the Boda. If you have ever been to Kampala, I hope you can still remember that on the way to the Garden City, Boda Boda has to bypass a majestic golf court. It was the huge golf court today, I believe, caused the strong wind. However surprising the journey was, I arrived with a refreshing mind.
Today is Allan's first day of school. I hope his mother has sent him to school on time this morning. I will go and check him out next week. Mac and I agreed on how to deal with those sponsored families, that is to be seriously involved in each child's education. We have to let the families realise how important it is to provide their children with good studying environment in their own homes. Sponsoring a child in Kazo is a significant responsibility for any current or potential sponsors, so does being sponsored! If one part of the burdens is removed by the sponsor's altruism, the family has to therefore move forward in a more rapid pace and bite their teeth into the remaining hardships. As the programme coordinator of KICVOP, I face moral dilemmas nearly every single day, from which I have to make painful choices. What I only hope is that each choice made will bring a real change rather than a simple temporary improvement. I hope the families in the community will work with us and work harder with themselves, and therefore bring some real changes to the current and next generations.
