By Nankwanga Eunice Kasirye The pangs of a poor city child are never ending; the child doesn’t know the true meaning of being a child. The poor city child in Kampala knows no right to play, no right to learn from mistakes, no right to be forced into mid-afternoon sleep- the child literally crosses from being a baby into maturity.   The Kampala poor child earns the food, the clothes, health care, school fees and everything that would look obvious.

I tell the truth for my self not for the recipient of information... I am who I am, if you don't approve of the true me then you aren't looking for me in any form of...
