Name: Ochen Hassan Joshua

Tribe: Kumam

DOB: 25/6/1991

School/Level: St. Florence S.S. - S4

His story...

He comes from Lira, in Northern Uganda where his schooling was disturbed by the rebel insurgency. Both of his parents are alive, but like many people in the North, they have been severely affected by the war situation. Neither is working and his father spends most of his time drinking.

Interests and Hobbies...

Hassan has a very creative mind and loves singing and dancing and is very talented in arts and crafts.

Future plans...

He likes working with technical/mechanical things and is always curious to learn more. Hopefully he will continue to a technical school after O-level where he can develop these skills more. He wants to become a technician/mechanic.

Notes:

Joshua witnessed the devastation that the rebel activity caused in Northern Uganda. He had developed some mental problems as a result, but he was treated and is healthy again.

Child Financial Needs:

The Ugandan government does not offer free education at any level. Before coming to the home, many of the children had been forced to drop out of school because they were unable to pay the fees. El-Shadai Family Foster Home believes that all children should have an education and a safe, loving environment where all of their basic needs are met.
