“Six years ago, I saw him washing dishes at a wedding party. I felt guilty that I was attending a party where a small child was made to wash dishes. A friend helped me with his school fees while I took care of his lodging and food. Since then, he has been living with me. Two years ago I lost my eyes to cancer. Now, he goes to school during the day. And also helps me get around.”
