{UAH} How should our World look like to make life possible?

How should our World look like to make life possible?

 

Two futures herald the changing character of our soulless society - the abandoned children and their grandparents.

 

Children's life in Uganda is becoming a real hell. Early in the morning they are ferried on buses, bodabodas some still sleepy to different semi institutions. Those coming from the low classes of our society they do with walking longer distances all in pursuit of their parent's dreams – a good life.

 

Then there is a classless group, the young graduates from village universities – having a child with a backpack hurrying her or him every morning to a slum kindergarten is very fashionable!

This mental distorted reality has surprised me since even village women vendors have caught the diseases rushing for a boda or matatu to rush a sleepy kid to a nearby slum sort of school.

 

Of recent children are being murdered as sacrificial items to get quick riches. I have stopped counting since on a weekly basis now, there is a child who has been, was and will be murdered.

A Malaya who wants to impress get an unwanted child! The slums of Uganda are filled with children with no destiny but left with fate to direct their future.

Bring in the non monitored private schools almost everywhere ; just recently I counted almost 30 schools on a single road. They are all providing education services.  Dr. J.C. Muyingo must be very happy – majority in ramshackle structures in wetlands. only fit for pigs .

 

Those children on streets overwhelm – they beg for parents spending their hours seated in their excrement or urine in a scotching tropical sunshine – who cares. `Everyone has to make a living by any means possible.

 

Bring in the old  the grandparents – abandoned in villages without ability to reach their children in urban slums. Last Christmas when the children were back in the villages - they got a bottle of paraffin enough to light the tinned lamps for exactly two weeks - so they did not get to bed with chickens.

Those who used to care for them have sought solace in the

anonymous urban slums. They get sickly and no one helps. The British once again have been funding 25000 shs monthly contribution to some old folks ,  in their decaying villages and African politicians are all airs taking the initiative as their own though rather primitively of  course.

What the sum can do your guess is good as mine.  Children are in Kibuga making a living hand to mouth.

 

Being an African young or aged is all but a tragic experience.
