"WAKUMA KENNETH, AN ARDUOUS JOURNEY INTO BEING!"

In the East, the journey begins!

Silence went down in her heart with a deep sigh coupled with heart beat during the labour pains as the expectation of a baby in life awakened the day, in a pool of blood, the expecting mother expelled the twist of her presence, this seasoned the increase of pain while her hope lingered between teeth and tongue.
She endured pains while counting every single second to bond with the baby after birth. It was an arduous journey into bearing a new baby boy!.

The day carried long in her eyes breaking silence with jovial after delivering a bouncing baby boy, the beauty stood on her face as brightness shot in the East!, a new day was born to witness a Destinned hero while the days lasted to see a motherly care!

Manashe Jackline!, a mother to the new born baby, adopted resilience into life after giving birth on 5th February 2009.

Looking at the baby, it was the long waited happiness with smiles that lived on her face. She was congratulated for beating death to have a live born baby!.

Manashe found happiness with the awakening names suggesting and being called before the new born baby, the inspirational ones were given according to the family lineage while his continuous suckling found the fondness of the mother's breasts a big diet.

At his tender age, the mother's love went fading!

While she shared happiness seeing a promise able innocent young boy assimilate to the environment as demands doubled, the surrounding seemed antagonizing with similarities provoking her to find an extra hand to leverage on caring and adoption, the baby's name as wakuma Kenneth had outgrown the feeding age in reality!, his development into sound mind with attachment making the mother's love to linger beyond breast milk, it was the a moment his love to the mother deteriorated as she moved chasing for a bright future without return on good fortune, making the child's life uncertain.

One day Wakuma's mother left him behind in the grandfather's house for good, awakening uncertainty in days, weeks, months and years that lived past him before starting school.

At the age of 6 years old, Wakuma was ready for school getting started in primary one at bukhakosi primary. Everything seemed okay in the beginning, his mother's presence seemed in cold as days past without her return. It was un bearing with the little one, the grandfather struggled to put life back on the face of the grandson, it was a position the grandfather took on exceedingly naive.

As days unfolded and nights fell out, wakuma developed into a genius scholar from a tender age to a sacred child while this affected the grandfather physiologically on how to get basic needs for the grandson since he was a satisfying vulnerable child!.

In his early development, the grandfather had all love behind him but lived shortly to see his grandson's path to success someday.
A painter would paint his endurance as a mosaic outlook but the seasoned grandfather had a limited tenure on the grand son's dominance. It was a quit, seeing the grandfather empty his trust for founding the grandson without tracing basic needs, this had reigned the bonding then and was never folding as one anymore.

Wakuma's journey cordoned in darkness while the rest remained a denial in life. A typical child he was, lived without seeing modern age, a barbaric situation that neither saw his father nor his mother during growth for a cup of years, his growing fame was yet another scene the  grandfather gambled on dust and rock to render the little he could for their survival. Unfortunately, he passed on leaving wakuma valnerable again. It was from this point, that another relative known as Teacher Mukhaye Solome mingled ways to rejuvenate his stay in school, Wakuma's journey looks a fiction though in the real sense, the background has alot of tales to tell.

Teacher Mukhaye's heart recounts a lot of hope that one day wakuma will tell a story to inspire challenged children from a journey of his own. Wakuma's zeal in school has an impressive ladder right from primary one at Bukhakosi primary school. His performances in class has his admiration to become a road engineer, an inspirational that goes in for handy coins to achieve.

The question whether this will be possible?, is another milestone to relate when primary seven is accomplished with seemingly good grades.

Bukhakosi primary school been of great fortune extending hospitality with learning spaces that has not only seen him grow but also improve on his performance soundingly. 

This leaves no doubt he will excel with good grades.

Wakuma's power walk, can be paused for child neglect but this has many foldings, from childbirth todate in the history of child development and welfare where a dedicated heart deserves warm regards indeed.

His tenure during life in school holds no parental bonding while those behind his support, a lot is desired to cultivate through the entire stages of development putting the current position to assemble facts whether he was a born to see days or miraculous imposing on earth?

15 years of his survival, lives a canning life of experience that will turn pages to assimilate proper naturing into a hero behind him.
Wakuma's journey bickers unforgettable traces in life to who he is today!. The family lineage seemingly carries no attachment in his career development yet his success in forecast can be aligned with no doubt our own.
His walk through is a journey of resilience showcasing the many unprivileged children in the rural population where parents have abandoned or less care about their being which has immensely pushed children out of school. Those that are currently enrolled in school have external hand in terms of basics and financial composure.
Wakuma's storyline has a bitter smile beating to success from justifiable iconic being and non government organizations in ensuring the plight before him is realized with efforts for his productivity as a child.

In his corridor of life, 15 years of his age coherently totals our community Perspective on him from the day he assumed birthright on 5th February 2009. At 15 years of age, it emerges of supremacy in writing as a journey to scholarship in his life with endurance to unforgettable traces on the family lineage.

A turning point to assume gratitude to bakhakosi primary school and the entire community into this analogy as journey to success is belittling.

What motive in life has left him brushed without desperately trying to lead self into an undestined pathway? A tragic walkthrough to his existence is a cornerstone someday! Children under the same case study are surfacing in denial and this affects their growth psychologically. 

There must be an instituted investigation right from family background to establish the uniqueness differing behind girl and boy child support. Whereas the government schools have free entry, qualitness is a question since many players underlay its indibtness.

The few non government organizations have attachments on boy child support, making a bolder perspective on girl child development with sponsorships without reconsidering the future of boy child. With boy child assurance from development to productivity on community engagements, his involvement in daily aspects portray set pieces on security, food and building the national population on assumptions of household roles. The boy child deserves proper growth with aid from revised government policies to equality on gender sensitivity. 

The government of Uganda has key players on national population and alleviation programs that is mandatory to override gender sensitivity indicative to champion national priorities most especially in education. Special needs assessments are also required to cater to the vulnerable children that aren't ablely supported by child affiliated organizations. It is now to start realizing safe spaces on equality for future assurance on national population and social economic productivity is achieved.

In Bukhakosi village, Bumutsopa parish, Bukiende Sub county in Mbale district, this bears the origin of life to the main character in the story.
