Umboto is a 9 year old african orphan, hes a happy child who doesnt let life get him down.
When he was 7 a landmine suspectedly planted by guerilla factions took one of his legs, one of his hands and left him deaf and nearly blind which contributes to him having poor balance and depth perception
Due to medical limitations in the part of Africa where he lives there is no hope of his remaining functioning eye being treated, none of him having his ears repaired, and rather than a prosthetic hand and leg he remains with a stump just above the wrist and one just above he knee and with nothing other than a piece of wood to aid his balance as crutches are a luxury in this part of the world
The village he lives in has no fresh water due to the water table being drained by a nearby coca cola bottling plant so each day he has to ride his bike which has no tyres, no brakes and two buckled wheels 6 miles and back to fetch fresh water as well as having a 9 mile each way ride to the nearest school to try and get some education both and gravelly and war ravaged pot holed roads
For a one off donation of just two pounds you can without a shadow of a doubt
own a copy of a video detailing both of these daily journeys
Ifs f**king hilarious

Knob !!! Bet you come from somewhere like West Midlands dont ya or close ?
LOL, well firstly as it says that on my profile ANYWAY its hardly a guess now is it?
And secondly, the west midlands are as well packed with humourless self important whingebags as whatever part of the country as youre in I would guess, as well as having just as many people who would find this funny too
Jeez, how self important eh? To think that only what YOU find funny should be laughed at lol

Don’t believe Ugo said anywhere on this topic that his humour, and his humour alone, was funny and that only his humour should be laughed at
He simply pointed out that this particular thread’s attempt at humour failed- I;m sure he’ll find your next attempt much more rewarding
