Apael... Help Edson!

...I meet their ties daily and have helped some.

But he is another soul that has touched my heart. Edson scored second grade at a rural UPE primary school. He would have done better save for looking after the neighbors cows for books and Uniform. He showed his Score card to a retired school chaplain who empathized. The elderly chaplain let him stay at his one roomed house with the rest of three boys as they walked to Senior one daily since this year began.

But the retired Chaplain is is now weak, not working any more and has traveled back to live in the village in Kashari.

Edson has to go on studying. He has worked at a bar, hotel, slept in at a taxi park and gone hungry most of this two weeks holiday. Finally he has bought a pair of shoes, a suit case, a mattress, some clothes but the top up for boarding fees is no where. so he moves around each office to find a good Samaritan. most of the officers suggest he lives school to work at their farms, shambas, shops or homes. The reason; he looks to be a serious boy that can be trusted.

Edson is an orphan with a sickly mother who now lives in Rubaya a distant village form Mbarara Town. No relative seams to dream with him. He wants to be a medical Doctor and help such suffering poor people like his mother.

"Perhaps I could even have saved my father..."
He says.

Edson studies at Ngabo Academy of Science & Development in Mbarara-Uganda. He could go to a better school.

Perhaps someone out their can help Edson. I decide to send her to school as I post an a peal to my blog.

Just leave a comment here, I will get to you in case you can help to pay Edson's school fees.

Thank You.
