John's Birthday: 10/10/2008
 
John was born partially deaf and as a result has a speech difficulty. He lives with his parents and 7 siblings, who rely on farming for an income.  His parents grow crops on small pieces of land and sell them at the local markets. 
 
John requires special education and care which his parents are unable to afford. If he is sponsored, he will attend our private special needs school, Hearts of Hope where he will receive the care and specialized education he requires.
