Different Story Dept: I regret to have made all those children, says Godelive Ndageramiwe. If I were to start over, I would only make two or three. , according to The Star. My father had 25 children I have only 14 so far, and expect to produce more in the future, says Kasadha, who has two wives. He considers a large family a sign of success and a guarantee of support in his old age and she s a 40-year-old mother of eight, with a ninth child due soon. The family homestead in a Burundi village is too small to provide enough food, and three of the children have quit school for lack of money to pay required fees. At Ahmed Kasadha s prosperous farm in eastern Uganda, it s a different story. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
