Samuel (on the left), what can I say. He is 21 going on 12. This country has so much stuff that was overwhelming for him, WalMart was a mind blowing experience. Samuel is the oldest child in his family and bares a huge weight of helping provide for his 8 younger siblings. Samuel will be returning to CWW in 2010. His family’s home was destroyed in the earth quake.

Esaie (on left), my good friend, lost his father at the age of six. He is the oldest in his family of 6, and takes this role very seriously. Esaie says he has to be the father to the others. He likes to play the guitar and to sing, and he loves to play soccer (as do all my guys).
