Luka (yellow and navy striped tea shirt in front row) first became a sponsored pupil last year while he was in grade 9. Both parents died of HIV as has most of his aunties and uncles. He has been living with his lonely granny!
Luka is a survivor! He is also totally enjoying his experience at Kalomo High School as a grade 10 boarding student. He is small for his age, but that hasn't stopped him from taking on lead roles as in song leading for the kid led church service (attendance over 130 each sunday) and also participating in the choir and also in the male "quartet". (a quartet in Zambia can be anywhere from 4 - .....members!).
Luka is coming out of his shell and comes to greet me with much more confidence than a year ago. He is sponsored by Irene in Winnipeg. Thanks Irene for helping Luka - he is too sweet!
