Diene came to us with his brother Ti-Bo from a very poor family who lived in the countryside. His father, a poor itinerant farmer, had recently lost his wife and was left to care for nine children. The meager living he made growing corn on borrowed land could not support his large family so he brought his ill and malnourished sons to our home out of desperation. Since coming to Maison de Lumiere, Diene and his brother are thriving and are very healthy. Diene has a good sense of humor and energetic personality, which makes him very popular at the boys' home. He enjoys dancing and skateboarding with the other boys and is also very involved in the baking program at our transition program, making treats to sell at a local school. Please pray for Diene as he grows into a man of God.
