A NOBLE BOY

"Travis"
DOB: July 27, 2004

Unable to be properly cared for by his birth mother, this beautiful little seven year old boy was taken into protective custody at just three days of age in his native country of Uganda.

Since coming into care, he has grown into a strong and healthy youngster with an expressive and outgoing personality. He is in the top of his class at school and is fluent in both English as well as his native language of Luganda. In fact, he is so articulate that he has begun to cultivate the art of storytelling. He has also developed a love for song, dance and football and enjoys building with blocks. He is described by his caregivers as a highly independent and hard working child who makes friends easily and is very popular with the other children.

Unfortunately and through no fault of his own, this bright and deserving little boy has also tested positive for HIV. Fortunately, it is reported that he is responding very well to the medical treatment he has been receiving.

It is my prayer that this little boy's family is just a heartbeat away and will answer God's call to bring him home soon. Once nurtured within the context of a loving and supportive family of his own, the noble qualities of this intelligent and gifted little boy will no doubt continue to flourish.
