When Suubi was born at Nsambya hospital, her mother escaped and left her there. Nurses found the baby crying, without a mother. They waited, but the mother did not come back. So they took the baby to Nsambya Babies' Home near the hospital. There, the workers took care of him until he grew up and went to school.
Nsambya Babies' Home is a house which has many babies and children who do not have parents. Today it has 167 children. Some are children who were thrown away by their parents when they were babies. Others are orphans whose parents died when they were still very young.
Last Saturday was an important day for them. They celebrated 50 years since the Nsambya Babies' Home was built. Children from Kankobe Children's Home and Natete Family Group Home also came to celebrate with them.
They began with prayers to thank God for looking after children. The prayers were led by Emmanuel Cardinal Wamala, the retired Archbishop of Kampala. Cardinal Wamala and more than 10 children cut a big cake together.
