“I grew up without a father and we were very poor and it was difficult to get by. One day, a young man, Lee, who was older than me, asked me if I wanted to become his little brother…

Lee encouraged me to study hard, not to lose hope, and listen to my mom. He was always warm and friendly to me, just like my dad used to be.  He invited me to attend church with him and when I believed in Jesus, my whole life changed.  My studies at school, character, and obedience to my mom all improved.

Now I have my own little brother, Piset who is 12 years old. I believe this is the plan of God that God had me take on this boy as my little brother. I plan to fulfil my duties as a mentor to the best of my abilities and encourage, visit, and spend time with him, and follow up on his studies.

I really want to express my thanks for Alongsiders where I first received love, especially the love of Jesus.”
