THE LIBERTOR
Ones upon a time in a small village called Ewonda there lived a very poor boy called lyonga. he lived with his parents called Mr and Mrs Linonge . They were both farmers who had a very small piece of land. They were very poor that they could not afford good clothes or food . One day ,Lyonga told his mom that he wishes to go to school so Mrs Linonge had to look for a school for him. All the schools around the village were very expensive so she had to go far away to the neighboring village called Bonakanda. When she got one she gave part of the school fees. When she brought the news back home Lyonga was very happy. But when he asked "mummy where is the school located" and she said "at Bonakanda" . Lyonga's happiness slowly faded away. But his mom made him understand how much education is important in his life by telling him stories like "the city of theories" which help him feel better. Every day, he had to treck for a distance of about 3km to school. Meanwhile in the village they usually fetch water from a stream call Ihname . Lyonga had to carry water every evening before going to bed. At school, he was very smart but when the exams begun he was sent away to go and tell his parents to complete his school fees. They had no money so he had to stay at home. While at home, he always read his books because he believed that one day he will resume school. One day he was going through his books and he read a " water pollution" . After detailed reading her ran to his mom to tell her that the water from the stream is contaminated and they should not drink it again. And his mom told him that they had no choice. Then he returned to to read his books and moved to another topic"Large Scale Water Treatment For Household Use". He reads through and screams "hey" and called for his mom to tell her what he had read . She was also happy but doubt if it will work. Lyonga told his mom not to worry but pleaded with her if he could use one of their buckets to make a sand filter and she agreed. He made a sand filter, brought some water and filtered it . After filtering the water, he puts it in a pot and boils it because he had no money to buy chlorine. And they started using the water. After a year, the stream water became a bit darker but people kept using it . The water became too dirty so people who kept drinking it were I'll expect for lyonga's family who were strong and healthy....
