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.
