What inspires you to be a part of Kitechild:
Knowing that I’m improving the quality of life and creating new opportunities for children who lack basic needs, love and protection from their families and community due to extreme poverty and helping them to reach their God given potential.
Funny/interesting/cool fact:
I was born at midnight and my parents have never agreed on my birthday, whether it is the 18th or 19th of September

What inspires you to be a part of Kitechild:
Meeting the kids and seeing how they are no different than my own brothers, nieces, nephews or neighbors, really puts into perspective how much they deserve a shot at a normal, healthy life if simply by the fact that they are just like you and me. I want them to be able to lead fulfilling lives and not be held back by poverty or their orphan status.
Funny/interesting/cool fact:
I have three tattoos, does that make me cool?
