Rescued by monkeys; now ready to marry

Sebunnya was abandoned in the wild at an early age, nurtured by monkeys, rescued four years later and slowly inducted into human life.

The monkeys so loved the boy that they picked him, reared him like one of their own. That is the story of John Sebunnya, the little boy who was discovered twenty years ago, towards the end of the bush war, living in the jungles of Bombo among a tribe of monkeys.

After more than a decade among his own kind, Sebunnya is now a short, dark-skinned man with thick eyebrows and a lean body. Upon close observation, Sebunnya is not physically different from many men his age.

Fascinating.
