“Anthony” by Bill Ng

“Anthony lost his father when he was two years old. His mother remarried but the stepfather rejected him. In addition, he was affected by problems with rebels and cattle rustlers in Northern Uganda. Anthony was taken to a village where he had endured much torture, to the extent that he developed chronic ulcers on both legs for five years. He has since been treated and is now completely recovered. He is currently studying at Busoga junior in primary six and is the proud speaker for the school (2,500 students).

Because of his skills in math, he would like to become a bank manager.” ~ Anthony’s Story from El-Shadai, 2007
