Jean Richard… “Just looking at this picture of Jean Richard, a handsome young man with a big smile on his face, holding a basketball, you would never think he had a worry at all…” Jean Richard is a great musician, and also “teaches” our children music. He is patient and gifted!

Jean Richard came to us during the earthquake. The handicapped orphanage where he was staying, crumbled. So, the director had to find a place for all the children. Jean Richard cannot walk but that doesn’t stop him from going to school or playing music at church. He has a three-wheeled bicycle that was donated by a Love A Child partner. He rides that to school each morning and actually, it is very good for his legs.

Jean Richard never feels sorry for himself… On the contrary, I have never seen him “without a smile.” He is a remarkable young man. We hope to be able to send him to college in the future so that he can learn “computers!” He really loves the Lord and he is “100% church!” He loves church! We feel that Jean Richard is a “gift from God!” Sherry
