My Baba

-
My name is Edrin Mwanja. I am in primary three at Nkono Memorial primary school. 

My Baba is a good man and teacher. At home, he makes sure we eat well and buys us clothes. 

He bought me a uniform too for school. It makes me happy and teaches me to make other people happy too by sharing the things he buys for me.

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.

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.
