After a while he left school and home to spend more time with his bad friends. It was not long before he started starving, feeling always hungry, and looking\u00a0 pale.\u00a0 He started stealing so that he could eat and was beaten by the shopkeepers when they caught him. He had nowhere to sleep but on the streets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, Munyabibazo realized what a bad life he was living.\u00a0 He saw how much he had disrespected his parents and felt sorry for what he had done.\u00a0 He decided to go back home and ask for forgiveness. His parents forgave him and told him it is never too late to go back to school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So he went back to school and this time got very serious with his books, because he wanted to leave the bad life behind him and have a good life and never be hungry or beaten again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>LESSONS SHARED BY THE CHILDREN<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help your parents when they get old because they also helped you when you were still young<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you go to school you live a better life<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid bad groups\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>PROVERB:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KWIGA NIBWO BUKIRE meaning studying is rich<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story shared on 1\/12\/2021 by Kanayangoga Claude\u00a0 Bitwayeko lived in Nakivale with his wife and one son, who was called Munyabibazo.\u00a0 One day Bitwayeko told his son, &#8220;My son, other children are [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":294,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusinginternational.org\/betterworldforkids\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
