I go to Malawi twice a year. It's where two of my children were adopted from, and I have a lot of projects there that I go and check up on and children who I look after. It's sort of a commitment that I've made to this country and the hundreds of thousands of children there who have been orphaned by AIDS.

Personally I support 14,000 kids in Zambia - I feed and clothe them - but I don't hold press conferences about it. I don't do it so you'll think what a nice person I am; it's private.

Children are the world's future, and we need to take care of them like we would any precious resource.

My life was filled with family in South Sudan. I am the seventh of nine children, and we grew up in what would be considered a middle-class family. We did not have a lot, but we did have more than a lot of other people.

Having children is a huge responsibility, and I just don't want to hand them off to a nanny or my mom to take care of them.

From 1971 to 1993, my family lived in a number of African countries, including Malawi, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Nigeria, as well as Uganda itself.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.

My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day.

I have six children.

I grew up in southern Sudan, one of nine children. Our life was simple but very happy.
