Aloyo Scovia is fifteen years old. She arrived at St. Mary Kevin Orphanage when she was eight. Her father had been killed by rebel soldiers in Northern Uganda four years earlier, and her mother could not adequately care for Scovia and her two sisters. Having heard from a friend that she could get a job as a matron at SMK, Scovia's mother relocated the family to Kajjansi. She has been a matron (a woman who is in charge of one of the children's dormitories) ever since. Scovia likes school and does very well. She enjoys reading. Scovia is thankful for SMK, because it has enabled her family to stay together. When she grows up, Scovia wants to be a doctor.
Aryatwogera Abasi has been at SMK since 2005. His mother died in a car accident, and his father died of AIDS. Abasi likes biology; he also wants to be a doctor. "It is amazing and interesting how living things are created and how our bodies work." He enjoys reading. "I read to be inspired. Reading makes me look as what I want to do to reach my dreams."
