Centrines' Troubled Family - Moses is TOP WORST FATHER EVER KNOWN
Description
Moses, Centrine's husband ranks as the TOP WORST dad RUS ever known. It was disgusting to hear the he went ahead and sold part of the last patch of food we bought for his children for alcohol. His elder son, Edwin, raised questions when he took their food, and he vowed never help him get circumcised. Among the Bukusu, circumcision is a very serious matter - the crossing bridge to adulthood, and boys between 10 - 14 get the knife with their dads leading the way. Edwin was eighteen and not yet circumcised, meeting younger boys who had been cut and were already healed as his father did nothing to help him. Engulfed in great humiliation and desperation, he looked for my number and called me through a neighbor's phone, and wept. I wept with him! Seeing I would sort him out, Moses ran when we arrived. This time round, we brought the shopping again but made it clear to those present to pass the warning over to him. He would go straight to jail if he ever touched anything we brought. We remained so concerned about Lucy's safety as a young woman, and our techs kept on training her on personal hygiene and safety (keeping safe distance from any man). I was ready to run him away from that house. I paid the surgeon for circumcision to be done for Edwin the following day. Wound dressing, medication and follow ups would be done with RUS help. A BIG THANK YOU TO JANET SMITH AND ESTHER WILLIAMS FOR THEIR TENDERNESS THROUGH DONATIONS THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE.
