Daniel and his brother Keso had been living in the neighborhood near Maison de Lumiere since the orphanage opened. They lived with their widowed mother and two sisters in a vacant lot. When their mother became very ill and could no longer care for her children, they were offered to stay at the orphanage. Since moving into Maison de Lumiere, Daniel has adapted well and truly loves the home and his new "family." Daniel is a very sweet and helpful boy who is very serious about his schoolwork and is often top in his class. He particularly enjoys learning how to play violin and occasionally plays during times of praise and worship with the other children. Please pray for Daniel as he learns more about the Lord and as he grows in his faith.

Richard came to us with his brother, Willie as orphans. Their parents had passed away before Richard was 8. Richard and his brother are extremely helpful, continually looking for ways to assist others. Richard's true passion is worship; his high, enthusiastic singing voice can be heard above all the other boys during our praise and worship times. He also learned guitar and loves playing his favorite worship songs. He enjoys playing soccer and helping with work projects around the home. Richard will often follow an adult around waiting for a new "project." Please pray that Richard would grow in his young faith to become a godly and devoted young man.
