User:Tumu Augustine

Tumu Augustine whom many people know and call Tumuhimbise Augustine was born on 10th march 1989. His is a son to mr.Tumwebaze Emmanuel(RIP) and Mrs.Kobusigye Lydia(RIP) who were the residents of Rwakatunduri cell Rwentondo parish Kagunga sub county rujumbura county Rukungiri district. Having observed how Augustine behaved at home his parents did not allow him to attend nursery school, he stictly started primary one and that was in 1996 at Nyabihinga primary school. He started well but on a sad note is father died in August 2000 when he was in primary five. Augustine started struggling for his and his sisters fees with her mother.During this time Augustine would buy tobacco from Nyamayenje market and sell it to smokers in his village, he would also buy bananas and put them in the ground until they would become yellow and he squezes them to make juice and mix it with sorghum to make local beer(Tonto). These are the only sources Augustine used to get school fees.It is said from reliabe sources that when he would be praying,he would say"God help me to make two ends meet". It is said that Augustine`s mother also died in 2004 when he was in senior two,here the bad turned into the worst,he says the situation became terrible as far as school fees and food were concerned. PRAYER

Here is how Augustine came out of the terrible situation, in the first place their grand mother(RIP) left her home and came to stay with them but he continuined to suffer with fees because their grand mum was very old and she could not manage that. In 2006 Augustine completed his senior four at ST Pauls` VOC SS Buyanja.A few weeks after completion of exams on a sunday Mr.Eldard Twikirize Rukuru(REV) came at our home at lunch time we were all there we had not gone to church,then he told us that there an organisation at

North Kigezi Diocese
which helps orphans,Pray very hard that you get a chance to join it so that "some" of your dreams could come tue,he added. Rev Canon Charles Bamushangire who was a pastor at our near by church came to our home and told us the same words, then the co-ordinator of the project also came to our home and said that the project taking on our family only if i accept to repeat senior four,i said if you know you will pay everything for me untill i complete my studies i have no objection io can repeat.From then God started working out for Augustine and only waiting for wounders. He is now at the University waiting for his very final semester to the award of a degree in arts with education. After this in October 2013,Augustine will be aqualified secondary school teacher.Though Augustine lost his parents but God helped him to continue with his studies.
