My Selfless Family

-
Our third story on the power of compassion is here and we are so excited to share it.

Remember, those beautiful primary days when we used to write English Compositions, this story just took me on memory lane.

Adiang Andria is a Sudanese refugee living in Uganda, he is a learner at St. Peter's Primary School Nsambya. Oh my!! It feels good having the young people share their narratives. Take a read.😇


In our neighborhood, there lived a rich family. This family had an adolescent son called Moto Mota, who used to go to school but he did not mind his studies. He was very proud of the family's wealth,  He performed poorly because he thought that his family would be having money forever. He was sure that he would inherit that wealth one day, so education was of no value to him at that time.

One day, his father felt sick and was rushed to the hospital, Unfortunately, his father died and was taken to the village for burial. After the burial, the family started their journey back to the city.

As the family traveled to the city, they got into an accident but Moto Mota survived. His arm got fractured, and he was in too much pain.  He cried and cried so much because he had lost all his family, As he was crying, a good Samaritan came to help him. He was taken to the hospital and treated until recovery, the doctors discharged him. When he reached home, everything was stolen and all the property destroyed.  He felt bad, he never had anywhere to stay, he wandered on the streets and started taking alcohol, smoking, and snatching people's belongings.

One day, he was caught as he tried to steal. He was beaten up, he had his clothes torn. Having known him,  our family picked him up and adopted him. My parents, counseled him to change his behavior which he did. We are now paying his school fees. He has now known the value of education. I expect that after his studies he will be useful to other people who are needy like him.  

Our community forgave him for his pride, Also, we should help needy people.

I have seen that God blesses people differently, we should use God's blessings well, without pride.

We are excited to kick off The Power of Compassion story series with Charles Obuk. We will feature 40 stories for 40 days in celebration of our fourth anniversary this September, these stories are meant to encourage people from all social spaces to embrace the spirit of generosity and to celebrate the heroes that selflessly make a difference in the lives of others. Charles Obuk in his own words, be inspired. Compassion and kindness are the things that changed my entire world"- says Charles Obuk. Growing up as a child, I was fed compassion and kindness by those who cared to give them to me.  My mother had a very unsuccessful relationship with my dad, with whom she had two children - I and my elder sister.  However, they had split up before I was born in 1997. It was only four years when she moved into a new relationship and left us in the custody of her brother, Mr. Olung David (R.I.P).  This was the beginning of my encounter with compassion and kindness firsth...

Every action you take impacts the lives of others around you , The question is, Are you aware of your impact?   Refugees are very amazing people. Like you, they need love, respect, equal opportunities and dignity. It is not their desire to leave their home countries. They have just lost everything and all they want is starting a new chapter of their lives.  For many, it is never easy. We crown 2020 with a very inspirational Story from Divine Irakoze, a refugee from Burundi living in Malawi. When we heard her story, we imagined the tones of unheard refugee stories  from all over the continent that need to be told.  How would you describe yourself? My name is Divine Irakoze. I am twenty years old and a  refugee from Burundi living in Malawi. I am very passionate about refugee work. I am currently the founder and team leader of Dzaleka Youth in Action Organization How did you land in Malawi? I was born in a refugee camp in Tanzania. My parents later mov...
