"KEKO", AS HE LIKES TO BE CALLED, CAME TO THE ORPHANAGE WITH HIS OLDER BROTHER ISRAEL. THEY ARRIVED AT THE ORPHANAGE WITH A SOCIAL WORKER, AS BOTH PARENTS ARE IN PRISON, AND UNABLE TO CARE FOR THEM.

KEKO LOVES RIDING AROUND ON ONE OF THE TRICYCLES, AND PLAYS HAPPILY WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN. HE IS AN OBEDIENT LITTLE BOY AND WILLING TO PLEASE. HE IS NOT TOO FOND OF MEALTIMES, AS HE HAS A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF FOODS THAT HE LIKES, BUT HOPEFULLY AS HE IS INTRODUCED TO MORE VARIETY, HE WILL SOON LEARN TO LIKE THE FOOD THAT IS SERVED TO HIM AT THE ORPHANAGE.

IT IS OUR PRAYER THAT AS BOTH KEKO AND HIS BROTHER ARE TAUGHT ABOUT GOD'S LOVE FOR THEM, THAT THEY WILL ACCEPT THIS LOVE AND BRING NEW HOPE TO THEIR FAMILY.
