Birthday: June 30
Most of the children that come to live at Treasures of Africa, are brought to us from the Welfare authorities in Tanzania just after being orphaned or abandoned. Only in a few rare cases, have children been brought to us who previously lived in another orphanage. This was the case with Michael.
The orphanage that Michael had lived in for nearly five years, closed down due to lack of funding. Because of these circumstances, Michael’s history and background are sketchy.
We were told that Michael’s parents are dead. Some extended family was located but they live in extreme poverty and cannot care for another child who is not their own. This left Michael quite alone in the world. And this also left him with a feeling of not belonging anywhere.
He came to live at Treasures of Africa in December 2017 at the age of 7. We have worked hard to give him a sense of belonging to the TOA family. With your support as his sponsor, that feeling of belonging will only grow!
