Vincent is the 5th born having 3 brothers and 5 sisters. His family lives in Lagut (which is about 9 miles from Gulu town), a very remote community in the northern part of Uganda. Vincent’s parents separated and he and the 8 siblings were left to live with their mother. The mother who is unemployed is in charge of providing for her children because the father doesn’t send any support. She works so hard in her small garden where she grows crops basically for home consumption. She is too poor to provide tuition and other school requirements for Vincent to attend school. Vincent loves school but attends irregularly due to unpaid tuition yet he performs well in class. He needs prayers, encouragement and support towards his education.
