“Rogers” by Lynn Latona

“Rogers was brought up from a remote village where he was staying with his parents; his father is both “retrenched” person and an alcoholic. He mistreated his children and Rogers dropped out of school. An Aunt brought him to Jinja for schooling, but she and her children mistreated him as well so he was sent back to his village. Stephen found him and brought him to live with the family. Rogers’ sisters Eunice, Tabitha and Toffee are also at the home.

Roger’s school performance is good and he wants to become a medical professor. He is very bright and has great hope in continuing with his studies.”
