His mother died and his father could not take care of him. When we received Mikael, he was in poor, poor health. He came to us with malnutrition.

Mikael… What can I say about Mikael? He is a very unusual young man. First of all, “he loves to work!” (How many kids in the U.S. are like this??) Mikael is always up early, about 4:30 a.m., sweeping, cleaning, and watering the plants. Mikael “loves work!!” He is very obedient and “zero stress.” (Thank you, Jesus!)

He is a “go-getter.” H is always “looking for work,” when some kids are hiding from it!!!! Ha. Mikael is very intelligent and makes high grades in school… but, he loves to drink “sugar water!” And, he is “always looking for food!!!” He will eat anyone’s “leftovers!” He has a bottomless pit, but he is thin! He is like a growing “garbage disposal.” He eats and eats and eats, and never gains weight!!! We love Mikael, he is no trouble, hardworking, and always wanting to help. He is just a little heavy on the “food chain.” Ha!
