SAMUEL IMARA DAUDI: Samuel was thrown away like garbage in the dump – in a bag. His umbilical cord was still attached! Locals passing by notified the police when they heard the cries. The police then contacted the Dream Centre to pick up the baby at the hospital where he spent a night under supervision. Now, he is healthy and doing good. He is now 2 years and 4 months old and he weighs 26.lbs. It is hard to imagine him as the boy who came to the centre about 2 hours old and very fragile. He has a good appetite and is very interactive with other kids.

JOSHUA PATRICK BARAKA: In January of 2013, a woman asked a fellow Word of Life church member to hold her son while she went to make a phone call. She never came back. The pastor of the campus waited for 3 hours waiting to see if the mother would return. With there being no hope of the mother’s return, the pastor went to the nearest police station and was able to gain custody of the little boy. Now, over one year later, Joshua is almost 2 and such a cute little boy! He has cerebral palsy but since seeing a doctor, he has started to regain the use of his arm and leg. He weighs 17.5 lbs. and is doing much better health-wise. He can now crawl on his belly and reach out for something ahead with his good hand. He is playful and laughs a lot. Toy cars are his favorite thing to play with.

EZANA DAVID IMARA: This boy was rescued at just 1 week old from a drunken woman who had been staying with the child’s mother before her death. The woman was found drunk in the house and had slept on the baby. It was reported to the police and Home of Hope was given custody. He had a hurt arm from the women sleeping on it, so he was taken to hospital for treatment. Now he is 2 years and 5 months old. He weighs 23 lbs. He is the boy who laughs the most at the centre. He is able to express himself well, is not irritable and does not cry without a good reason. He is very active and his health has improved a lot.
