RIP Xavier

Excerpts from my book Abby and Her Guitar a children’s sickle cell book which Francis Xavier Ssendagire (RIP) read and gave me good feedback. He was the first person to read my manuscript.

“We have soldiers in our body that fight enemies to keep us safe. We have some soldiers that fight against diseases and others that keep our bodies strong like superman. Soldiers in our bodies are like policemen. They protect us from enemies. When you have sickle cell disease, your soldiers are not strong enough. So they are easily defeated. So Aunt Joan did not want your soldiers to be defeated when you remove your sweater. Your soldiers are not strong as other children who don’t have sickle cell. You have to put on a sweater when it’s cold to protect your soldiers from those strong enemies”

A chat with Cuthbert

A chat with Apotu John Cuthbert a 10 year old boy with sickle cell disease shows hope restored when he started to attend our sickle cell clinic in Ngora. Apotu was born with sickle cell disease and lives in Gawa village in Ngora district. He was missing many class days due to his health and had nowhere to get treatment from. Apotu was happy to be promoted to Primary 3 and will be in P3 come 2018. His peers he started school with are now in Primary 5.

Apotu has been repeating classes because he was not attending classes and had forgotten about going to the next class.
Ever since we opened up our clinic in March 2017, Apotu got an opportunity to get the treatment needed. This helped him to attend all classes which helped him even pass his exams. His face potrays a young boy with a bright future.

Donations towards this clinic will help Apotu and other children not only to have a good health but also stay in school.
