I am Thabu Kabale, I was born on July 14, 1999 in Tanzania. We
are three in the family and I am the last born. I didn't not get
the chance to spend time with my father and get to know him as I
was only three months old when he passed away.
After my father's passing away confusion arose amongst family
members. The environment was very toxic and not appropriate
enough to raise a child in. Family members grabbed everything
they could from the house and left my mother and I with nothing.
We had to move in with my aunt.
After sometime my mother fell ill, and was hospitalised at the
hospice from which I attended nursery. Life was harder than
before and to the goodness of Mr. Tom who by by now was a friend
of the family and the owner of the hospice, he brought me to
Kasisi Children's Home. The year was 2005. My mother's name was
Arabecca. She was a Lenje by tribe. My mother passed away when I
was still young, about a year after I came to Kasisi.
Since then my stay at Kasisi has been nothing short of
amazing memories. I had a childhood that I would wish for every
child to experience, filled with love, care and protection. A
childhood where one is allowed to live like a child and make
honest mistakes and be corrected and guided in the the right
path. I had a happy childhood living in Kasisi Children's Home.
During the weekends I spent the days together with my siblings,
helping each other in our daily activities.
A childhood of laughter and happy memories.
I did my primary education at St Theresa primary school. For my
first secondary education I was at Leopards Hill Jesuit
Secondary School now known as St. Ignatius College. Leopards
Hill Jesuit Secondary School was a Cambridge school. Later I
went on to take the Zambian syllabus. For this I was at back at
St Theresa secondary school and I completed from there.
During my high school days I used to spend my free time studying
with the group members or socialising. The school had both males
and females and because of that I find it easy to communicate
with both genders. My hobbies are reading books, watching
movies, shopping and also sleeping. I also spend my free time
hanging out with friends.
I always had dreams of becoming either a pilot (aero engineer)
or a public speaker. I was able to pass my final grade(12) exams
and I enrolled into Evelyn Hone college. I studied Public
Administration for a complete (3) three years.
On the 21st October 2022,I graduated and I was awarded a diploma
in Public Administration and Humans Resource Management.
Kasisi Children's Home has been a big part of my life and
journey as it saw me through all my schooling and took
responsibility.
Everything I am today and wish to be in the near future is
because Kasisi Children's Home. |
