Edited email(s):
I am Joseph's older brother, and have lived in Kyangwali since 1997. In the future I want to be a freedom fighter for my people, their rights are violated, they are backward and illiterate. I want to work with the government and see how I can achieve the goal of helping my people.
About my background, I was born in DR Congo in Kivu. My parents were peasant farmers, my mom is still in the Congo, she was persecuted and tortured, she failed to escape to Uganda. I am an orphan and I look after orphans. My father died last year from malaria and I am now heading the family, my father left two wives and 10 children, so I look after them. It is not easy; life is like that, full of ups and downs.
I stay with my step mom and some brothers and sisters.
Love, Bahati M.
- Marcel is a founding member ofCOBURWAS International Youth Organization.
