My name is Sylvia Omurunga and I am 24 years old, a second born in a family of three siblings.
My parents divorced when I was 9 months old and my mother took me back with her to her parents home. I was brought up at my maternal grandparents. My mother died in 2014 when I was 16 years old. After my mother’s death we were left alone and we had to manage ourselves in a child headed family alongside my sibling and cousins for one year before the family members brought in one of my elder cousins to take care of us.

Personally, I was looking forward to joining our Nasio school teachers in Kenya in March to deliver our second Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) program, but due to Covid-19, it had to be postponed.
