One day on the way home from selling the sweet potatoes, he had an accident, as he was knocked over by a motorbike taxi (bodaboda) but the person who knocked him left. He was picked up from the road by other people who rushed him to the hospital.
It was found that the accident was serious, as his right leg was broken and it had moved from the normal position. He has been under treatment for two and a half months, because he can't walk with both legs, so he uses clutches to support himself. The situation at the moment is not brilliant, because he has no wife to take care for him, so he is living at a friend's home with his two children at the moment. He isn't sure if he will get money to pay the children's school fees. Ritah is in P.3 and a brother Richard is in P.1B at the same school.

| 92 Nazziwa Annet 
2011
|
|
School: Kyetume Church of Uganda Primary School
Class: P7
Sex: Female
Age: 13 Years Old
Ambitions: Not know yet
Child's situation: March 09
She is well and still lives with her father. Surprisingly her father hasn't yet remarried as most men end up doing immediately after they've had a divorce. Godfrey, the father has had a lot of challenges taking care of his own children especially when it comes to bearing both parental roles, but he says, he will try to do his best to help his children and love them.
However, Annet as the big girl, takes a good care of her young sisters says the father.
She showers them every evening and morning before and after school respectively, prepares them for school, and after school she prepares supper for the family. Its more probable that Annet misses a lot of her mother's attention, but also to some extent its of an advantage that she has leant to be a lot more responsible at this tender age.
Yes, she still upholds the dream of becoming a teacher when she grows up.
Aug 2010
Its now time for 2nd term holidays. The kids might not really enjoy it because its very short- 2 weeks only.

According to her father, the money from selling potatoes isn't enough to care for the family or to cover school fees; as the potatoes are seasonal and as such the yields are variable throughout the year. The major problem for the family is that, although the children are keen to learn, they cannot find the money to send them to school.
