Hi, I'm Shadrack
I'm a boy, 4 years old and live in Uganda.
According to the grand, the father divorced with the mother and the child was left her. Shadrack stays with his grandmother at Wakivule village. The father does not support the family with anything at all. He decided to marry another wife and relocated to another place far away from the native land. The grandmother is a peasant farmer who cultivates little for consumption at home. She also does casual labour around the village to support her grandchildren. This family stays in a small house in a small piece of land. No other source of income for the family. The children love school but they cannot attend regularly due to school fees and other school requirements. They are sent home on a daily basis yet the grands cannot afford.
