*Gerald is a grade seven student at our center. He lives with his aunt and uncle within the community.

Gerald’s mother has mental issues and she is unable to take care of herself and her child. That is why Gerald lives with his aunt. This situation has been affecting the boy psychologically and makes it difficult for him to concentrate in class. It got to the point where Gerald wanted to drop out of school and he would also disappear from home for days. Whenever this would happen, his aunt and uncle would reach out to us for help to trace him and we would search for him until we find him.

Each time we located Gerald and convinced him to return home and to school, we would then offer him counseling sessions. We would also pray with him and talk to him about the love of Christ. It did not happen immediately but over time, we started to see a change in Gerald’s behavior. He was no longer missing school and the report from home was that he is ever-present.

Today, Gerald loves school and is a hardworking student. He is also attending church every Sunday and actively participates in the school’s devotions. There is great improvement noted in this young boys’ life. We give God all the glory!
