My Life in Africa; Kityo Margret

Am called Margaret Kityo a widowed mother of 5 who joined Life in Africa early this year. my husband passed away sometime ago and i was left to take care of all of them. Life was very difficult economically, children could not go and stay in school because, there was no enough fees to keep them there. I had almost no future to look forward to, until I joined Life in Africa.

Since i joined Life in Africa, where i now work with the Invisible Children Bracelet Project as a bracelet producer. i have made new friends, learned lot of new things like making other handcrafts like mats, baskets, bags,sofa set coverings and many more. i had also began to attend adult classes to better my English language and computer skills.

Life in Africa has acted as a spring board for me to see, understand new things. my views of life has changed. my perspective of life, people, society has totally changed and for my benefit. Opportunities are abundant and am taking very good care to exploit them.

My next step at Lia is to see to it that I continue to learn more things. I know from what I have already experienced here that lots of chances are available to improve my life and family. I want to grow myself in new skills and become a better member of society who contributes to the positive growth of community unlike in the passed when all i ever done was to cry and moan all day long, missing out on great opportunity.
