"I really enjoy building and helping grandma with chores around the house. The house is already old, so there is a lot to do. Grandma doesn't have any money, so I'm glad I can help. When I grow up, I want to be a mechanic or engineer. Then I can build anything I want!"

My story

Hi! My name is Lukyamuzi Calvin and I was born on July 23, 2012. Together with my two brothers and two sisters, I live with my grandmother. We haven't seen mom for a long time and dad has gone to his new wife. That's why grandma takes care of us. I am very grateful to grandma for this! My favorite subject is arithmetic. During breaks at school, I play football with my friends. Grandma is also a very good cook and she teaches me how to make rice and matooke. If there is enough money, grandma also makes meat with the rice and matooke. Then it's really party time!

Why Calvin needs our help

His mother has left Calvin with his grandmother and is no longer in the picture. Father has married again and no longer helps pay the school fees. Grandma now takes care of the children but does not have enough income to make ends meet and pay the school fees.
