In November, a damp, late hours, Edith sits with two-year-old members of the team between the two-year-olds between heavy rains. Small workers, daily aerobics in the muddy courtyard daily work and follow the collapses and sweat of the Counter Personnel members.
Like an energy pop music, which consists of three single and double-storey buildings, seven-year-old diego, a seven-year-old diego, which is a seven-year-old diego, falls on a concrete landing. The wrists are twisted, slowly creeping until Edith stains him.
“Diego, my boy!” 49-year-olds call with a wide fluke.
He escapes him, irritated him and quickly waved him quickly. He gives him a high five, and two laugh before two people focus on training.
The heat and love between Edith and its employees and children’s homes feel like it belongs to a great family.
Edith began in Uganda with the right to a disability right, the first child of his first child, Derrick, Jinjada.
Derrick returned to yellow when he was two days old and wept excessively. Thus, Edith and his husband Richard took him to a hospital where he was wrong with Malaria. During the two weeks, their son drew convulsions, and when another doctor saw, after a contract with the spinal cord was found to be consequences with his spinal cord.
“When preparing for three months, I realized that my son did not grow as a normal child. There was no head management. There was a curved spinal cord.” Certificates and dignity of thanks to the walls, President Yoweri Museveni hangs on the door.
When a window came out of a playground full of children, Edith fights about how to get information about the situation of his son, and it was starred from them and their derrick.
“We started to hospitalize. The house, hospital, house, house, hospital. The situation was particularly like convulsions, people, ‘he has demons.’ This is where I rejected by society, “he says.
“They were like, ‘He gave birth to a child.” “
Historically and so far, education about the disabled has not been promoted through government-run schools or local clinics, has led many ugandal to appeal to traditional healing. Unassistent without diagnosis and feeling, Edith succumbed to social pressure and took his son to traditional healers.
“I tried to take him to different witch doctors. They put him on the body, and with their herbs, wash the chicken blood with the blood of the chicken, but he still did not change.” “It just got worse.”
But then an elderly couple in the church encouraged him to return to the hospital and support his family. Therefore, Edith returned to the hospital with Derrick. After 12 months, a permanent disability was diagnosed. The lack of treatment for meningitis has caused severe brain damage and a cerebral paralysis, could not walk or nourish him for the rest of his life.
