REAL-LIFE HEROES For every life rescued, there’s a story of a life transformed. Last year schools were closed for several months and movement on and off our villages was restricted. This meant some of our nannies could not get to work. To help cover the staffing gap and ensure our babies were well taken care of, some of our Watoto teenagers and young adults voluntarily stepped up to help. We are grateful to each and every one of these 87 heroes—heroes like Lawrence. As a young child, Lawrence was rescued and welcomed into a family in our Suubi village. And because of faithful sponsors, over the years we’ve been able to provide him with food, medical care, an education, and a home, as we taught him about the love of Christ. He’s now in high school and we love that we’ve been able to watch him grow into the leader God has called him to be. Lawrence, and each one of these amazing young adults, are living proof that sponsorship works. Because of sponsors like you, their lives were transformed and now they are giving back and feeding into the lives of their younger Watoto brothers and sisters. We couldn’t be prouder.
