board.
I passed with aggregate 16 at Olevel and
continued to Crane High School, where
with the support of Peter Birungi, the
director, I progressed. I became a student
council leader and worked very hard to
advocate students causes.
At Alevel, I studied literature. I often
asked my friends to read the novels out
loud for me as I wrote notes. I emerged
the best literature student in my school
and won a government scholarship to
study mass communication at Makerere
University.
At Makerere, I relied on a guide to
negotiate the complex campus geography.
I worked through the system and with
support from my lecturers, I was able to
complete my course. It has not been easy
to find a job. Wherever I go, employers
doubt my ability to perform based on my
visual impairment. They ask me to try
somewhere else. I am now considering
going into business to fend for myself.
PARENTS VIEWS
Betty Mugenyi is the grandmother of
12-year-old Mike Ssebalu with a hearing
impairment and a P.2 pupil at Bishop
West Primary School in Mukono district
Ssebalu was only two years old when his father
died. He and his siblings were entrusted to my
care. I tried to enrol Ssebalu in a special school
in Ntinda in Kampala. I used to walk him to
Ntinda every Wednesday for induction lessons
until I gave up. It was too much work and I
could not afford it. I had decided to take him
out of school until a Good Samaritan offered to
support him in an inclusive school. That is why
I brought him to Mukono. Since he joined here,
he has improved.
