Waswa

I've been going through ALL my pictures from the last few days, and this one came up.. all the other pictures are coming soon, but I just had to share this one.. This little boy's name is Waswa. He is 11 years old, and goes to the school (Kisega) that I work at on a regular basis. I have absolutely fallen in love with him. Just seeing his picture just now almost brought a tear to my eye. He has one of the sharpest minds you'll ever come across, but the ability of his limbs have not caught up to his mental ability. He can talk perfectly clear, but he can hardly use his arms or legs at all. He walks with a small metal walker, and has almost no motor skills in his hands at all. In the dictionary next to the word "sweetheart"...yep, I checked.. his picture is there. He is a little bit unsure, so he is quiet and shy, but man when he smiles, the earth starts melting. The Spring of Hope staff have started calling him my "boyfriend" because I gave him a part of my chapate (fried tortilla) once, and he's been my little pal ever since. Pray for Waswa with his abilities in school. It's very difficult for him to write because of his lack of motor skills. Also pray that his peers continue to encourage him.. Pray that people would realize his worth and value even though he can't play soccer, or run and play tag with them. Also pray that he realizes his OWN worth and value as a child of the King! He is truly a gem, and has completely, COMPLETELY stolen my heart. Pray for my Waswa!
