Gladys Bulinya at home with five of her six sets of twins Most women would struggle to cope with six sets of twins but for Gladys Bulinya it is even more difficult - as many people in her part of Kenya think twins are cursed. Her relatives will have nothing to do with her, and her husband left her, fearing she was jinxed, after the sixth pair of twins arrived last year So the 35-year-old lives alone with 10 of her 12 children in a one-roomed grass-thatched house, a few miles from the shore of Lake Victoria. Sitting outside her small home in the village of Nzoia, she recites the birthdays of her children with ease. "John and James were born in 1993," she starts, shading her eyes from the sun's rays. She explains that she got pregnant at high school - but her boyfriend was too young tomarry her Gladys Bulinya's non-identical twins 1993: John and James 1999: Duncan and Dennis 2003: Mercy and Faith 2005: Carren and Ivy 2007: Purpose and Swin 2010: Baraka and Prince BBC News - Kenyan mother 'cursed' with six sets of twins
