The
boy comes from a poor village 25 km from Kidadu. When we found
him he lived with his grandmother, she told his story since he
is a little less than 2 years old.
The
grandmother had a son and a daughter, the daughter died 5 years
ago. Her son had a girlfriend, Kindambas mother, but they did
not marry or move in together when she got pregnant. The young
mother lost a lot of blood during the birth of her son and died
because of that. The family of the young mother did not want to
take responsibility of the child, so the father of the child and
his mother took care of the baby. The father had a motorcycle,
and made some money by driving people around. But one day, when
the baby was 6 months old, he had an accident with the
motorcycle, hit his head and died by the road.
Everything
turned very difficult after that, the grandmother had no money
for food or other necessary things. The baby has been sick a
lot, but the grandmother can not afford taking him to hospital
or buy medicines. So when Emma came and offered Kindamba a place
in the orphanage she was very happy and says thank you to all
the kind people who are willing to save her grandson.
