Livingstone Finally Found his Mother!
When we got Livingstone from the village, his mother had disappeared for 2 months, leaving the 6 or 7 year old boy alone in the house. He had to cook his own food. He narrated that he used to live on food cooked of leaves from the forest and jackfruit and whatever wellwishers would give him. Through the Local Chairman he found his way to CMU Children's Home.
This was Livingstone "home alone".
After some months, we went back to the village and tried to ask, the neighbours whether the mother of Livingstone has ever returned. Surprisingly, she had come back and said, that she was arrested for trading immature fish, which is illegal in Uganda. She had planned to sell these fish in a certain area and then return with the money home to where she left Livingstone. She was heartbroken when she heard that Livingstone was taken away. The local authorities wanted "something small" to take her to Livingstone (CMU) which she didn't have. While in prison she had no access to ARVs and her health deteroriated. She was taken to a pastor to be prayed for, where we finally found her. It was all joy and tears when Livingstone was reunited with his mother. At least, we could trace some relatives now, just in case his mother would pass away in the near future. HIV / AIDS plus a swollen abdomen which would need operation has left her at the mercies of God. She has no money for the necessary operation.
Livingstone will continue staying with CMU in order to get education and a future for his life. We are grateful for his sponsor and other supporters who help this helpless children to be here and to have hope for a better future.
