LARRY NJEI AKISSA
(DOB: 1/15/2005)
Larry , his twin sister Larissaa and their older sister Anna live at GTS. They were just a year old when their mother died of breast cancer. Their father was not able to take care of the children since he had to sell their property to pay for medical expenses during his wife's illness. Larry and his siblings were abandoned by their father at another orphanage where he was required to pay a certain sum of money he could not afford. Later they went back to the village when that orphanage could not meet their needs. A staff member at GTS learned about them and brought them to GTS. Pray that the Lord will be with Larry as he grows up and that he will love the Lord with all his heart, strength and soul.
