Alan is described as an active, happy and intelligent, young boy who likes to play basketball. Red is his favorite color and his favorite subject in school is math. When he grows up, Alan hopes to become a doctor.

A typical meal for Alan usually includes rice, beans and sometimes meat. He lives with his mother and grandfather as well as two siblings in a palm wood house with a corrugated tin roof. Alan helps his family by carrying water to the home and washing dishes.

Alan is learning about the Lord’s love for him in daily Bible lessons at school. Please join us in praying for continued spiritual growth, understanding and blessings in Alan’s life.
