No sibling rivalry here!

Many village families are really large… some with multiple wives each with 10 to 12 children… so to find a family with one wife and only 4 children is considered a small family!

Charity and Davis live with their mama and tata (local term for father) along with their two younger siblings in a small house near the ITFM campus.  The parents are peasant farmers living on someone elses land.  They are very poor due to working for others and making a very small income.

Charity is 5 years old and her birthday is the 24th of September 2008.  Her full name is Ampiire Catherine Charity.  Her favorite school subject is writing and she enjoys singing.  She desires to be a health worker or nurse when she grows up.  At home she helps to fetch water, clean the compound and clean the utensils.

Davis is 3 years old and his birthdate is the 10th of June 2010.  His full name is Byamukama Davis.  His favorite school subject is reading charts and he enjoys dancing.  He wants to be a teacher when he grows up.  Davis has an on going skin condition that causes scabies looking bumps all over his arms, legs, and abdomen.  

Both of these children have such great smiles and very laid back calm personalities!  They are a true joy to be around!
