THOUSANDS OF ORPHANED CHILDREN ROAM THE STREETS
OF KINSHASA, A CITY OF 8-10 MILLION PEOPLE.
CIVIL WARS, POVERTY, AND SICKNESS HAVE TAKEN THEIR TOLL
IN THIS PREVIOUS BELGIAN COLONY WHERE MANY LIVE ON $1 A DAY
THE MIND OF A CHILD SEES THE POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. THEY ARE INDESTRUCTIBLE, LIMITLESS, AND FULL OF HOPE FOR THE FUTURE …
… UNTIL THEY ARE ABANDONED, UNLOVED, FORGOTTEN.
IN THE HEART OF A CHILD IS THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD A NATION,
TO LEAP TALL BUILDINGS IN A SINGLE BOUND,
TO CURE DEADLY DISEASES, TO LOVE THE UNLOVELY.
THE POTENTIAL OF A CHILD IS LIKE A MUSTARD SEED. THE SMALLEST OF ALL SEEDS HAS WITHIN IT EVERYTHING TO BE A STRONG AND MIGHTY TREE GIVEN THE NURTURE IT NEEDS.
“I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, PLANS FOR GOOD AND NOT EVIL,
PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE.” – GOD
WHAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IS WHAT WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES
OF A LIFE FORGOTTEN.
