When Every School Day Is a Journey - the Story of Geria Cosmos

[Independent (Kampala)] Arua -- In Awika Village, Omoo Parish in Arivu Sub-county, Arua District, five-year-old Geria Cosmos begins each school day long before lessons start. For Geria, a Top Class pupil at Amazu Nursery School, going to school is not as simple as walking out of the door. Born with a physical disability that affects his legs, he cannot stand or walk like other children. Instead, he moves by crawling on his knees, and when he is in a hurry or playing, he sometimes uses his hands to push himself along.
