On Monday, Michel went to school!!! It was a big event for us, Michel lives in Amecet for more than a year, he was left behind in the hospital by his mother. He is a bit spastic and can't talk or sit by his own. Now there is a place in Soroti where they work with children like him. In a group of 10 children. They pick him every day and bring him home at 6 pm. We are really happy for him, we believe Michel can do so much more, but we can't help him much further.
Monday and Tuesday was the BIG day for the Primary 7 classes, the exams!! They are very important for them and 5 schools were combined in Nakatunya Primary school to sit for these two days. I went to bring them lunch on Tuesday, You can see the 20 pupils enjoying a special lunch with soda(!) and then they were going for their last paper. They all said they were doing well. I am so proud of my daughter Sarah, who is one of them. She made it up to P7!! There is much reason to be thankful!!
Then Yesterday, Thursday, it was court day for Doreen. The guy who wanted to kill her, the father of her baby, is in jail and yesterday he had to appear in court. Doreen was the witness. Elias and I went with her. She was a bit scared. We were there from 8 am till 7 pm!! We saw and heard interesting cases, sentences were being spoken out and the last person was our case. The man agreed that he was guilty, so that was simple. It was only the defile case, the attempting murder case will be later. The verdict was 3 years for defilement. We were very tired after a day on the very hard court benches. The good thing was that Doreen had no labour pains!!
Today we went to pay our last respect to Naome. She was to be buried in the village. We went with a car full of people from Amecet. Many wanted to come, but the car was full and there should also be people at home, to stay with the children!
There were many people at the burial, I think at least 400 or 500 people. It has something good, the coffin is under the tree and all the people around it.
It is good to see that many people loved her and wanted to bring her to her last resting place.
Dear Naome, rest in Peace!
