Could You Say "No" to This Face?

Oh my, how I am missing all of the babies right now!!

Maybe You Are The Family He Needs!

Hello, I am 10 years old and I enjoy art, woodworking and spending time with my friends. I would love to be a part of a family.

This adorable, young boy was abandoned on the side of the road when he was just five years old. For the past five years he has called an orphanage in Burkina Faso "home". We know that he has a hearing impairment, but the severity is unknown. As a result he hasn't developed his speech and communicates with simple hand signs. Unfortunately, due to his impairments he hasn’t had the opportunity to attend school. In spite of these limitations he is successful in communicating and interacting with others. He is described as delightful, cooperative and creative by his caregivers.

Perhaps you have a place in your family for him or maybe you know someone who would open their heart and home to him.
