Collins, 6

Akampurira Collins is six years old and is currently the youngest of our children at The Peace Centre. He suffered from malaria and is no longer able to hear properly.

We don’t know for sure when Collins’ parents died, but what we do know is that his dad had AIDS and committed suicide in 2010. We believe his mother abandoned him after his father’s death and he found himself left in the house on his own.

Collins’ grandmother took him to her home, but she herself has mental health issues. Collins was very scared and reticent when he arrived, unsurprisingly, but he has now started calling the Matron and the Nurse ‘Mama’. His development is slow, we think due to the neglect he has suffered, but he is beginning to settle into The Peace Centre.

Bridget

Bridget is between 12 and 13 years old (her grandmother didn’t have any information
about her except her baptism card which dates back to 2002).

Both her parents died of AIDS but her grandmother doesn't remember exactly when.

Bridget is in Primary 4 and should be in Primary 7. She is three years behind at school because of
her need to work. She works every day in the field growing vegetables to provide for her grandmother. She gets her clothes from neighbours as she cannot afford to buy her own.

We found her neglected, carrying a large water can from the well and finding firewood to cook. She has had to cook and maintain the household. She didn’t have a bed to sleep in - she has been sleeping on a foam mat on the floor.

Check out the profiles of some of the children we have taken into The Peace Centre.

First hour after registration! All children received a bag thanks again to Converse for donating these!), some clothes and a blanket for their first night. Some already looking happy (and believe me, it's not always easy to get Ugandans to smile for a photo!)

Picture
Amos, Daudi, Alex and Moses on their first night having fun being silly in front of me (a "muzungu” or foreigner) and eating their meal. :O)
Photo looks blurry as there was no electricity...

Picture
First night at TPC. - singing and dancing :O)
All of them seemed really happy already on their first day!
Peace leading the dance.
No electricity as the electricity is cut almost every night from 6pm.

Picture
TPC opened the doors to the orphans on Feb 2nd 2015, and Feb 3rd 2015 they were already going back to school!

Picture
Some of the girls’ rooms (we have 5 rooms for girls, 5 for boys).
Some children were brought to the Centre with no belongings whatsoever :O(
