This is Anthony Nanumba, an abandoned and neglected boy from Luuka district.
When we saw Anthony for the first time, our hearts just broke in peaces.
He is the most beautiful little boy who should be living a happy life full of exciting discoveries like any other child of his age.
Instead his eyes are full of grief and sorrow.
His mother divorced and as a reason to "move on with her life" she took him to his grandmother.
His father moved to Kamuli and does not want to know anything about him.
Anthony lives with his grandmother with his other two siblings who are 10 and 3 years old, although those other two children look nothing like poor Anthony.
We were told by the neighbours that Anthony's grandmother locks him up in the house every day, and she does not mind about him. They told us that she used to tell them: "Let him die, I don't have the means and the money to look after him.."
We took Anthony to the children's ward in Jinja, where he was admitted for his anaemia and malnourishment.The grandmother refused to come and take care of him during his stay in the hospital, so we called one of our staff members to stay with him instead.
We are just so happy that we met this special boy.
You can't help it but when you look at him, he locks himself up in your heart.
