From Monkey Boy to Choir Boy

    John Ssbunya is a boy from Uganda. He is a shy boy and speaks slowly. This might be caused by what happened in his life. When John was two years old. There was a war in Uganda. His mother was killed in the war and his father's whereabouts were unknown. John was all alone. Then, a colony of green monkeys adopted him. He lived with them for three years. He learned their mannerisms, became adept at climbing trees, and lived on a diet of fruit, nuts, and berries for the next three years.

    In 1991, a local woman saw him scavenging for food with chimps and reported it to the people in her village. The people, then, caught him. It was not an easy job because the monkeys put up a ferocious fight to prevent the people from taking him away.

    The people took him to an orphanage. There he learned to behave and speak in human ways. As he was able to utter his first words, it was discovered that he had a fine singing voice. John Ssbunya has now joined the Pearl of Africa children's choir and has gone on many tours to different countries.
