He Survived But Watched Fire Consume His Mother, Siblings
0|
Seven days ago, 12-year-old Francis Ojok of Ojile village, Pajule Sub-county in Pader District belonged to a family of four siblings and a mother.
Today, he is alone and orphaned after that family was snatched away by a bushfire. Ojok almost lost his own life to the fire. He cheated death and survived, but with burns covering 90 per cent of his body. Besides the physical damage, the teenager also has emotional scars to contend with; two of the family members who perished in the accident were four-month-old twin siblings, George Opio and Joyce Acen, who he had particularly grown fond of. The others are his mother, grandmother and two other siblings.
