Jerome joins HL Family

Please meet Jerome. This three year old boy has gone through difficult times after abandonment by the only family he knew.  We realize that sometimes the story behind such children is difficult to know.  When he joined us early April it was difficult to communicate with him because of language barriers.  At such times, we realize how limited we are to handle some situations.  Our staff kept trying different names to see whether he would respond; and he actually did when someone called him "baba", a name used commonly by mothers when they call out their young boys.  We do not know why this same mother, and probably father?? left him in the house alone.  But he is now a happy kid; at least he has food and shelter, and many siblings, mothers and brothers.  But please pray with us that Jerome will be reunited with his family if God knows that they will love him and care for him again.
By Faith
