"We're treated like outlaws in this country by KCCA law enforcers. They chase us away from the streets saying we make them look untidy, I thought we're Ugandan citizens too. The only difference between us and other Ugandans is that we're street kids, which is not something we chose. They use a lot of force I have been beaten countless times since I use a wheel chair my mates often flee easily leaving me vulnerable, others extort money just to let us be here at centenary park" (Centenary Park, Kampala)
"I had greed for money, I loved money very much, it's the reason I dropped out of school because every time my parents gave me money to go clear my school dues I instead spent it buying petty stuff like radios, Time came when I could not depend on my parents so I left Kamuli for Kampala. I used to repair electronics and now I live on the streets" "What would you do if your son/daughter turned out like you?" "Trust me I would not tolerate that nonsense because I learnt a lesson from all that so I would be so strict on my children" #HumansOfUganda (Centenary park, Kampala)
"I used to be a clown at the Uganda Cancer Institute, where I played, joked and had fun with the Kids with cancer during the annual gigs that were organised. I think I fell in love with them afterwards, Today I own Akiba Children's Home. Where cancer patients from allover Uganda can come and get free Accommodation and Food as they receive medical attention" "Describe Ugandans in a paragraph?" "I can proudly say Ugandans are really generous people because I can assure you that Akiba Children's Home which is under Bless A Child Foundation is 100% locally funded" "If you were asked to give advice to a group of people what would you say?" "I urge everyone to make it a habit to go for medical checkups, because at least most of the health complications that claim our lives can be cured if detected at an early stage" "Whats the hardest thing about living with cancer patients?" "They're fun people, though cancer is an un-predictable stubborn disease because today the Kid can be totally fine then the next day they're really down or you might even come back next week asking about a certain playful kid you met and we tell you he/she passed on, so here at Akiba Children's Home we live each day like its our last because you never really know what might happen tomorrow" (Makerere, Kampala)
"You won't believe this but I used to play football, most of my team mates by then are now playing professionally and I think I weighed about 60Kgs. When I quit football I gained so much weight I was not even aware, till I ran into one of my old friends who could not believe it was me. I weighed 109Kgs that was my wake up call- Today I weigh about 99Kgs" "What is the secret to your weight loss?" "I must say the month of Ramathan did it for me, I was fasting and working out throughout the whole period of Ramathan- It took a lot of determination and faith to lose those 10Kgs and am still counting"  (Namboole Stadium-Bweyogerere, Wakiso)
