Mukisa Steven - adopted by Steven

MUKISA STEVEN, KAMPALA UGANDA (EAST AFRICA)Mukisa Steven was born on 25th Feb,2003 at Mulago of Kampala District.
Steven ‘s Father and Mother separated after a severe state of poverty in their family, at first his Parents persisted for about two year staying together in this worse state of life. This was caused by retrenching his father from job of being a shop keeper.
Steven is third last born, followed by twins (Boy and A girl) , has three elder brothers and one elder sister.

Here Steven is in the deep up country at a village called Sii in mukono district about 50 miles from town where mother shifted with other siblings just to survive hunger which become a severe sickness in Kampala because the family was very big yet non of his parents was working.

In the Village still Steven struggled to have proper adequate food due to the big overwhelming family of his mother at their grand ma’s home in Sii where they found also other children. During day they would survive on Wild fruit until super when to have at least two pieces of cassava, hot water or Porridge.

His Sad Face, Skin can tell much the kind of life he is experiencing, summing up to total experience no parental love being the third last born, the two young Kids getting much of mother’s attention, first priority of food ETC. He was born in severe state of poverty during which parents were forced to separate, this caused Steven’s growth to retard, delayed his speech, never liked to play because all the time he was hungry looking for food resulting to resenting school. The school also was located about three miles to walk, again with poor facilities.

One day I happened to meet some one I knew before who told me about their situation which prompted me to make there a visit, then ended up picking Steven to lighten mother’s situation.

Here is Steven’s life changing with a big smile, now, able to learn many new words, his tongue getting perfect each day. The environment is now different from what he used to know. At least he can have some thing to eat twice a day , though not yet as proper nutrition, he can at least have some medication when he feels sick and has a dad to tell welcome back once in awhile as he appears.

Steven goes to school with at least minimum requirements, carries a bottle to school, got some shoes to put in his feet while going to school.

Steven’s mental psycho social power is increasing slowly, though he must be spoken too about five times to act/ do what he is told to do.
He needs to stay with people who understand him, love him and play with him. At school he is proofing to catch up though his age was late for school, teachers’ report is that he is very stubborn and despises so much, doesn’t fear to be spanked.

Steven attends church every Sunday and likes very much so, singing and dancing is one of his hobbies. He very player full though likes fighting a lot.

Among other siblings at home who have their Dads come by, Steven also is proud of his adopted dad as he always mentions that to fellow children. He is in the pre school level called baby class here, His favorite subject is writing, his chores at home is sweeping , favorite game is soccer. His Adopted dad’s work is assistant Pastor and student. Currently he is living with grand parents.
