About

Willie is a very outgoing and friendly young man who came to us with his little brother, Richard. Both parents had died, leaving them as orphans to beg on the streets. Since coming to Maison de Lumiere, Willie always has had a big smile on his face. His favorite past time is playing soccer and he dreams of playing professionally one day. Willie loves to be very helpful around the house and regularly cooks dinner for the boys, which the boys really enjoy. Willie is also quite good at speaking English and loves to interact with visiting missions team members and our American missionaries. Please keep Willie in your prayers as he continues to grow in the grace and love of Jesus.

    Enoch Kisavi

    Kenya

    Enoch comes from a humble family of two and he is the first born child. His parents are unemployed and depend on casual jobs to sustain their family and thus unable to raise his secondary school fees. Despite staying home for most of the time throughout his primary education due to lack of school levies, his dream to become a mechanical engineer has kept her focused. Enoch has seen a number of people in his area struggle too much when their machines and engines break down and there is no one to help repair them. He would also like to help the needy and poor families support their children in becoming better persons in the future. His hobbies are drawing and taking photographs. He holds on to the quote that says the road to success is not straight.
