Best of buddies

CHILD OF HOPE, NAMATALA SLUM, UGANDA: Young slum kids Yazid and Silas are inseparable in school at playtimes. Both are in the top class of the nursery section and have been friends since the time they entered school. They sit separately in class to help them remain focused in lessons but like to seek each other out at any opportunity.

Yazid and Silas happily share any locally made snacks either is able to bring into school, otherwise they sit together, happy and smiling, as they enjoy the break time porridge the school provides. They are always sad to go their separate ways at 12.30 when school finishes.

These boys enjoy having sponsors in the UK; if you would like to consider sponsoring similar children through their education, please click here: https://www.childofhopeuganda.org/what-we-do/sponsorship/sponsor-child
