I had a chat with our little friend who simply reminds me of Taju.
As i say a big thank you to everyone who has promised to help pay for Success's fees, it is also important to note that it goes beyond this one child. They are so many of them around us facing a range of disadvantages such as lack of education, poverty, neglect deprivation and abuse.
