New Kid's Profile


This is Dereck, a lovely, very smiley boy. He came to us with a wound on his head (you can still see it) that his relatives told us came from a stone (that's all the info we got). He has settled right in despite the fact he hardly speaks a word of English.


This is beautiful Aruna. He is our only child that still has his mother alive. As a rule we don't except children with a parent still alive but in Aruna's case we made an exception. He comes from a Muslim family, his father had two wives. He father died and so did his step mum, leaving his mother with all of the children, needless to say it was a real struggle for her. Recently she converted to Christianity and has been completely ostracized from the family, receiving absolutely no help. It has been very difficult for all of them. Join us in prayer that she will continue to stay strong in the faith despite all of the persecution she is facing. 


This is Joel, who's parents died when, he was very little. He lived with his uncle, who has struggled to look after him. His English is very good and he is doing great at school, a very smart boy!


This is Sakina, she is of royal blood. Her uncle is the chief of her village. Her parents died a few years back and she has been living with an aunty. The family already has so many other children to look after, it's been very difficult for them to provide for Sakina. She also doesn't speak a word of English and has never been to school before. Godwill, who we first thought was her brother, we have now found out is her second cousin. 





 This is Noel, Meranda's brother, he is very sweet and speaks no English. He loves to play football (soccer for all you Americans) and is fitting in with the other boys really well.


This is Tahirih, she is such a lovely girl. Both her parents died when she was young. The second she came into the home she was already friends with everyone and is right at home already. She is also doing very well at school.
All these Children still need sponsors!
