We first met Job Kiwanuka and his mother in 2002 in Bubala, a remote village deep in Bumoozi. His Mum held Job in her arms, silently pleading for our help. It seemed impossible to do anything.
In 2009 we met Job again, a lively 9-year old surrounded with friends, who had mastered the art of writing in the dust with a stick gripped between the ends of his arms.
We showed video of Job to Helen, an Occupational Therapist from Bitterne, who made arrangements for Job to be helped by a team from RILD Uganda who came and fitted Job with his new wheelchair. It has made life better for Job - and so much better for his Mum who no longer needs to carry him as he grows bigger.
We were unable to help Job until God linked us with Helen and RILD. We'll see how Job gets on and report more news as we get it. |
