Tumwesigye Amon (ID# 169)

Amon lost his father and was left with his grandparents for some time. He studies from Kyabugashe Secondary School and now stays again with his mother who has been sick for long time with mental issues. He is a very determined, hard-working boy who likes school and his dream is working hard for a better future to help raise the standards of the family.

Amon is a bright boy, he so much likes to study, though his performance was affected due to the chronic sicknesses of his mother. Some days while in primary he would fear going to school and would remain home to attend to his sick mother.  Although his growth is stunted – a common sign of HIV – they say he tested negative.
