As a home, my elder sister called Nasaga Dorcus got mentally heal in 2015. And even since the she live so isolated and lonely since she felt so uncomfortable to be among us. The same illness disturbed my follower called Wambedde Emma for some time, but now improving though it happens occasionally.
Another sad thing is that our daddy died 5th July 2020 of an Asthma attack while he had gone to pay a visit to the very elderly sister but failed to meet her and this led to the arise of the Asthma attack.
