*Abdul is a grade six student at the KB center. He joined the school in 2013 as a kindergarten student and lives with his parents in the neighboring community.

Abdul’s parents do not have a steady source of income and have to rely on casual jobs to provide for the family. The young boy would often go to bed on an empty stomach which affected his school attendance and concentration in class. The social workers conducted regular home visits just to encourage the family and often we would allow Abdul to carry some food home. These actions made the family see the love of God through MOHI staff. 

When the covid pandemic hit, Abdul’s family was among those that benefited from the food baskets we distributed. They were really grateful for this timely provision and the family as a whole developed a very positive attitude towards school. On his part, Abdul started to show a love for his studies and no longer misses school. His academic performance has improved and his teachers enjoy teaching this positive and well-behaved student.

We thank God for partners like you who help us give and in so doing model to men, women, and children – some of different faiths – the unconditional love of our Savior.
