Ugandan Street Kid to Foster Dad with Peter Mutabazi
Manage episode 339509041 series 2608167
I am Peter Mutabazi.
And this is my story.
As a child in Uganda, I grew up with shelter, food and clothing scarcity. But more than that, I grew up with safety scarcity. I feared for my life from a father who threatened me, and frequently called me “garbage” and “useless.” Parents are supposed to protect their children. When my father didn’t, I ran away from home to live on the streets in Kampala.
Four years of doing whatever I needed to survive, a young couple:
… saw me
… heard me
… told me I wasn’t alone
… and showed me that I mattered.
They sent me to school. They put a roof over my head. They clothed me. And fed me three meals a day. And allowed me to be a child. So I could grow up to do the same for others.
I decided to do for other children what this one couple did for me.
