Nabayego Evelyn and Namayanja Maxmiriam are best friends. In the early 90s, they both lost their parents to AIDs. Today, at sixteen, they attend Bishop’s Senior School in Mukono, a district just East of Kampala. This is one of a few interviews we conducted in which the participants were the primary interviewers. In this piece, Maxmiriam interviews Evelyn about her life as an orphan, as a friend, and as a role model for other teenagers. Both girls hope to one day attend university. Maxmiriam is interested in journalism and nursing, and Evelyn hopes to become a doctor.
