President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has blamed an "undisciplined opposition" for a surge in Covid-19 cases in the country.
\"Everybody on social media does just take everything for a joke.\" She said she did not get any useful information about her missing pet and is constantly at edge wondering if Peep is in pain or worse, dead.
\"Some people love materialistic things and they don't how to value life. I'm not looking for attention or fame, I just want my chicken back.\"
Khan said her mother has been a rock of support and even though she was at first sceptical about posting the missing poster on Facebook, she relented so that \"the person who took Peep will realise just how much that chicken is of value to me.\"
This newspaper decided to not use Khan's image to protect her from further trauma.
The soft-spoken woman was emotional and on the verge of tears as she recalled her time with Peep. She said her pet lived indoors, watched television, and was at her side for most of the day whenever she is at home.

On April 24, she let Peep outside to mingle with her companions, Springs and Browns, two other layers she bought to keep her beloved chicken company. Sometime between noon and 3 pm, Peep went missing and led to a frantic search in the rural community where hunting is a vocation. She could not find any feathers or even a trail of blood in the days that followed but still clings on to hope that someone stole her chicken and may have her pet alive in captivity.
\"Even if she is not alive, I still want her,\" Khan said. She said the first day without Peep was the hardest as she could not eat or sleep.
Every time Khan goes home she is reminded of the emptiness and silence without the happy chirping of her pet.
Last April, Khan was diagnosed with covid19 which knocked her off her feet.
She said Peep helped her cope during the pandemic an

Samara Ragoobarsingh is painting her way to happiness.
The standard five student of Chaguanas Government Primary School just wrote the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) and hopes to pass for her first choice – Holy Faith Convent in Couva.
The 11-year-old artist, who lives in Charlieville, does not limit herself to just one medium. She paints predominantly with watercolors, draws with pencil and even creates skits and videos starring her siblings. She hopes to eventually create more art using different mediums.
She is the second eldest of her parents' five children.

Samara started drawing when she was four and continues to develop her artistic capabilities.
\"Even though I was not very good when I started I still continued to do my art to get my skills better.\"
When it comes to her inspiration she said, \"I get it from my mom who is also an artist. When I was little I would look at two pieces by my mom and I'd say 'I want to do that too!'\"
Asked what type of art she likes to make, she said, \"I do abstract, realism and sceneries. I'm not very good with people yet so I watch tutorials on YouTube. But I can draw cartoons.\"
Her favourite pieces to draw and paint are religious ones.

\"I never really liked to do art that wasn't of God. That's why I don't really like to do still life things and I prefer more nature and religious things.\"
Samara is a Roman Catholic and attends St Phillip and St James RC Church.
When it comes to school, she likes art and English the most but finds mathematics to be a little tricky at times.
Asked how felt about sitting SEA, she said, \"It wasn't very difficult but it wasn't too easy either.\"
She said when she enters her new school in September she is looking forward to making new friends.
Over the past two years, Samara had to shift her main focus from art to school with the added stress of the pandemic and online learning.

\"The pandemic itself didn't affect my art, if anything that gave me more time to work on my art. But I wasn't creating as often as I was really busy in standard four and five getting ready for SEA. Now that it's over I have more time for my art.\"
When she isn't focussing on her art or school she gets her siblings involved with skits she produces and video records. After recording the videos, she edits them herself and then shares them with her family.
Asked what she wants to be when she gets older she said, \"I want to be an artist, or a designer or maybe an interior designer.\"
