Kabali Edward | Teacher at Grace High School
Upon joining the literacy Program, Edward had no interest in
education because he had no exposure, his parents had never gone to school and
so he didn’t find any relevance in school. However, he slowly gained interest
in education and eventually had a career goal to be a teacher. He says,
"The food attracted me to attend school because I had no choice at home
the only meal was porridge without sugar. I recall the first time I ever wore
shoes was at the Literacy school, I was given two pairs of shoes as a Christmas
gift. Life kept changing, I found it quite attractive to stay in school." Edward
eventually attended Uphill College Mbuya for his High School and then joined
Kyambogo University to pursue his dream of becoming a teacher. He mentioned to
us that he can trace very well where all his other peers ended, most of them
got arrested by security agencies, the girls got pregnant while others beg for
their next meal.
