Joseph is 10 years old. His birthday is February 13th. He has 3 siblings: Ruth, Geoffrey and Sabas. His father is paralyzed on the right side of his body, leaving him unable to speak or work.  Care of the family is left to Joseph's mother, Susan.
 
Joseph's parents have sent him to school in Bubago but he has been sent home repeatedly for not being able to pay his school fees.  He needs a sponsor to help fulfill his dream of becoming a teacher someday!
