Robert was the sixth child born to his parents who were in a traditional marriage. He lived with both his parents until the death of his father in 2003––his mother is still alive. Robert lived with his mother until he was five years old; then went to live with his older brother for two years. He then went to live with a cousin for two years before coming to live with his sister who lives near Kasana Children’s Center. She works in our special needs class where Robert’s youngest sister has a place. She earns little so asked if Robert could have a place in our senior school. Robert was given a place in 2015. Since joining our sponsorship program, we have learned that Robert is respectful, kind, and honest. He enjoys playing soccer and reading books. In the future he would like to become an electrical engineer.
