With all this striking behaviors , we thought of marrying her off as the only solution .On June 20 , the Head teacher approached me about Akullo’s nasty behavior and advice me on her joining the stay alive Club at school. He told me more about stay alive programme and as the only reliever. I accepted and Akullo was forced to learn stay alive programme at school.

Now as we speak , Akullo has got devoted to the stay alive classes and has changed her life in the following ways.

She is among the first children in class and her performance has tremendously improved.  She helps as at home with the kitchen , garden and compound cleaning
