'None
of my children went to school and I am the only person who can communicate in
Kiswahili. I can also write but for them it’s a dream. It is only my last born
and I who have taken up the challenge. My other 14 children have not enrolled
in school but that has never discouraged us.’
However, Cheptakar
Kakuko Tukongole is described by her classmates as the most hardworking
pupil in class.
We wish Kakuko a successful examination!!!
