Emmanuel Odongo's Story
Posted: June 23rd, 2009 | Author: Favor of God | Filed under: House of Hope Child Stories
Emmanuel was born in the Abok village in 1993. His parents were both killed when the rebels burned their hut with them inside. Emmanuel was ten years old at the time. He was taken to live with a paternal uncle who was also caring for five other orphans. Life was difficult for this family and food often scarce as the uncle worked tirelessly to provide school fees for all the children as well as the basic necessities of life.
Emmanuel came to the attention of Favor of God ministries through a tour given by one of our board members. He now attends our Christian school and is a thriving part of the House of Hope family. “Emmy” has grown to be a leader to the other children at the House of Hope. He loves to play soccer and he is doing well in his studies, particularly English and Mathematics.
