Double triumph for Johnson

He is just like all ordinary 13 year-olds at a first-time approach, the sheepish smile and naughtiness combined, but Johnson is much more than that. Johnson is a prefect at school meaning he has leadership responsibilities yet when the boys sought to elect a person in charge of looking after the games and sports equipment at the orphanage he was the first to be nominated.

He is a darling of many at school not so much for his academic abilities but for his friendliness and a hardworking character. Yet despite all these he still tops his class at the Crane Education center, a thing he has done for the last one and a half years since he joined the school.

His teachers were all praises for him upon learning that he had scored a first grade in his Primary leaving examinations. According to his class teacher, although they were happy that he had scored a first grade, they were not surprised adding that Johnson has always been hardworking and thus deserved this.

Johnson who also doubles as the school's football captain and sports prefect was all smiles when the news of his performance was brought to him. " God has been good to me, he helped me perform well, i think i deserved it" was all he could say.

This comes barely a month after Johnson was honored with the region's highest award for his age category in soccer. He was both the the top scorer and best player at the regional youth soccer championships for Kampala held at Nkumba a fortnight ago. His success in these endeavors brings to light the support he has received in both his education and talent development.

Johnson is able to go to school thanks to the support accorded to the Home by the Daniel's Promise Charity founded by Denise Gwatkin in 2008. He is supported for his education and general welfare by the Charity which supports the Kampala School of Excellence Ministries Children's Home.
