Mother's Day tribute to Mama Sue

Today is Mother's Day - a day to celebrate and say thank you to mums everywhere. At the Happy House, one young man, Nasri Juma, speaks for all our youngsters as he says a very personal thank you Mama Sue. Nasri joined our family as a scholarship kid in our school in 2014, he was desperate to learn. He was living in poverty with his grandmother, his mum had left him many years before, and there had been huge gaps in his schooling because there was no money to pay. But Nasri never lost his thirst for knowledge, school was the one place he wanted to be. Mama Sue gave him that chance. He has since completed his primary and secondary school with flying colours and is now working in our school. Mama's love and the opportunity she has given him has enabled him to break free of the poverty that had dominated his life. In this video he tells us how grateful he is to Mama Sue and of how he looks upon her as his biological mum. "She has done great things for me," he says.
