My life inAfrica report by Lucy Okello
My names are Lucy Okello, an Acholi lady by tribe and age 51 years old .
Iam a responsible married woman with 08 children and my last born is in primary three this year, my first born is married and now has two children.
My husband is a capenter and he love his job soo much. One of my boy has already taken the ambition of his father that he also want to become a capenter like his father and by this after school when he is at home and the father is working , he stays close to the father so that he learn more
I was born in 1955 from Pabbo sub-county in Gulu district ,northern uganda and my husband is also born from the same sub-county.I gave birth to most of my children from there and at least three children from IDP camp .I stayed in IDP for 05 years and there afterward I came to Gulu town where there are better schools for my children and that is how I came to town. With the experience of staying in the IDP camp for 05 years, I have seen how people in the IDP camps are suffering and I am praying that the peace deal bears fruit so that people go back home and enjoy staying in their home land.
I am a peasant farmer and I love being a peasiant farmer This has helped me to keep my children well and also provide them with school fees and other sevices like medical services. I was not educated but I want my children to study not like I did so that they have a better feature. I also like making table cloth and that is a sourse of income to me ,Lucky enough I was able to join Life in Africa where people are learning a lot of crafts work like beads making, Door mate and other things .
