My name is Kasumba Dennis ….. I live in Uganda I growing up with my grandfather on my mother side ……..my father was Ugandan army soldier he died in northern Uganda ……………. The course is he was using stagnant water when he was fighting ………………. When he died I was 1 month……………

I started looking for jobs I was 8 years old starting work in slaughterhouse at age of 8 years old…………………because I was not studying any more…….. I started cut cows cleaning blood and working in Farm feeding cow …… give the cow water ………………. I started playing baseball at age of 8 years ……,,,,,
At that age I was using stick and stone hitting my self ………………… I was walking in the streets I find coach at first I don’t know the spots he was teaching but at the end he told he’s teaching baseball and coach was like me to join him ………………
I say yes because I thought coach will help us to get food every day so that I can’t work so hard but the things not change…………
The next days I stopped to go back to baseball field I started focusing on slaughterhouse and Farm to buy my family sugar and food . My mother every time support at home and sometimes she didn’t get any money and even me I didn’t get and we spent the all day and night no eating food.
