Tapestries of their Lives : Looking at the Threads.

Meet Daniel. This is one of the children I tutor at Unforgotten Faces. He is going into Grade 7. He lives with his mom and two brothers, and he is the oldest of the boys. Problems at home, inconsistencies in life, and assumptions of those around him as left him to trudge through the sludge of being known as a trouble maker. I have seen through the guise and see him for who he truly is, or at least more than what he is known to be. He lacks a sense of self worth after having struggled under the label of a trouble maker. Many times he has succumbed to such mentality, other times he gives up on things like handwriting or even learning due to the weight of his assumed identity. He began losing his sense of hygiene recently before I left, coming to the organization with scabbed nose or fingers gained from bacteria found in rubbish around town.

But he is more than all that. He is a smart student. He has huge potential. And he has a big heart. He needs an opportunity. He needs love.

Your contribution to my ministry will enable me to return and minister to Daniel. He needs a mentor-figure to help guide him. He needs someone to show him love without any sense of blindness to his true identity. He needs someone to overlook the outward expressions caused by inward turmoil. He needs someone to reach out and comfort and aid.

When you invest, you will invest in the life of Daniel and other children like him. When you support me, you send me out to be a thread in his life to connect the chaos of his current life and hem in a new beauty. When you give, you invest in the repair of the rips and frays of their lives.
