My story

Hi! My name is Nakibuule Mariam and I live with my mom and three sisters in a four-room house in Lukumbi. My two older sisters are twins. Dad works in the city, we never really see him. I think that's a shame. My birthday is on May 13, 2016. We have a lot of chickens on the land. I love chickens! At school, I'm very good at math. During the break I play korfball with my friends. I can eat matooke every night, I like it that much!
