My Name is
Austin

Austin
Austin’s father died in an accident when he was cutting down a tree, and his mother died in November, 2009 from malaria. His godfather cared for him after the death of his mother, but he did not have the means or desire to care for Austin. No other family member has came forward to care for him. Austin is a pleasant young man who understands English well. Austin enjoys studying science, and he especially learning about the solar system and planet earth. Austin loves Christ, and his favorite Bible verse is John 3:16 because it teaches him that because God loves us, He sent His son to save us.
