allAfrica.com: Uganda: Partially Deaf Masaka Girl Excels (Page 1 of 1)
BEING partially deaf did not stop Kate Namayanja, a former student of Blessed Sacrament School Kimaanya in Masaka Municipality, from scoring 24 points.
Namayanja, who studied Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Agriculture said the hearing problem would stop her from achieving her dream of becoming a doctor.
"I got flu and it damaged one of my ears. This made me uncomfortable in class but I still worked hard," she said.
The school authorities advised Namayanja to always seat in front in class.
Vision Africa, a Nateete-based charity that supports the needy and orphaned children, paid her school fees from Senior One to Six.
Agnes Waliggo, Namayanja's mother, said the family had its hope in her.
Namayanja's teacher J.B. Kalema said she left the school without being caned.
"Namayanja was perfect in almost everything," he added.
