“Mary” by Corinda Cook

“Mary was brought to Jinja when she was 2 years old, she lived and ate on the street. She came from Moroto with both parents and settled in Masese. Both her father and mother are alcoholics. She had resorted to eating from rubbish bins. She had no one to comfort her until last year when El-Shadai family reached out to her. She is now back at school after a rehabilitation process. At this point, Mary wants to become a science teacher.”
