Abdul is 15 years old, he became a resident of mercy alive Africa shelter in August 2014 after being picked from Kivulu slums during the outreach activities. He had fever and physical wounds on his body especially on the legs which were dressed. Abdul used to move barefooted to collect scrap.
While at mercy Alive Africa shelter, Abdul was interested in drawing and reading plus playing football, after observing his characters, he was re-united with his family in April 2015 at Kasubi a suburb of Kampala city.
Immediately started his studies at Kasubi Primary school in Primary four, Mercy Alive Africa volunteers always visited Abdul at both his home and at school to make sure that he is well and enjoys school.
Unfortunately during the previous second term holidays, his aunt at home started abusing him which involved beatings and verbal assaults, Abdul run away from their home and went back to the streets in Kivulu slums which are just three kilometers away from their home in Kasubi, we met Abdul again during our recent outreach programs and shared his stories with the volunteers he has since then expressed his great interest to go back to school and meet with his family but efforts to be done to persuade his aunt to love and care for him as a child.
