Vernos and Priscilla were found in very difficult circumstances when Joseph Kampelembi visited the place they were living. Their father is alive but is very lame, he cannot work. Their mother had died and they were living with their father and grandmother. Soon after visiting, the grandmother died and when Joseph went back to the house he found them all crying and desperate. He therefore brought the children home to his house, his family were willing for the extra children to come and live with them. Vernos and Priscilla are happy to have a family and a father that cares for them. Joseph and his wife feel like these are their own children and love them very much.
