I was born at Ewuaso Oo Nkidong’i. I lived with both parents, brothers and sister. We lived as a happy family. I used to go to school in our area and I was doing well in all fields, both academics and sports. But suddenly some years back, my parents separated. They didn’t really divorce but they are no longer living together. My mother went back to her biological home. She went with us. I have three brothers and one sister. My mother didn’t have enough money to care for us so I went to live with my aunt at Olosho-Oibor and that is how I joined the Rescue Center.

I learned how to pray and fast. I learned how to care for each other and help one another. Also, I learned how going to church every Sunday was important. I learned that Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood for our sins to be forgiven. I learned that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to come help us, protect us and guide us.

It encourages me to be ready to suffer the way Jesus suffered on the cross because of our sins. It also helps in being ready to face challenges and difficulties in life. lt also helps me realize that everything is possible with Jesus on our side. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around me.
