Today was another big graduation day for Angel House. 4 of our students graduated from primary school. Of course we are proud of all of them, but imagine our delight when our William was named "Best-behaved Student"! William is 19 and wasn't able to attend school before Angel House because he was busy providing for himself and his 4 siblings. His dad left the family, and not long afterwards his mother told her children she was going out to buy kerosene. They waited and waited, but she never came back. William cut wood to sell and later had his brother Richard (Cha Cha) sell mangoes to support the family. Their sister Lucy took care of household chores and watched their two younger siblings. This all changed when Angel House accepted William, Richard, Lucy, and Samson into their charge. I've never met 4 harder-working kids. I am proud to call them my grandchildren! We are hopeful Angel House might be able to welcome their 6 year-old sister Veronica into its fold in the future.
