My Darling Boys

I have the amazing privilege of living and working with these precious boys in a children's center with Iris Ministries in Maputo, Mozambique. Here's your chance to get to know a little bit about them . . .

Joao Macamo

Joao’s birthday is celebrated May 15, 1994. We aren’t sure of his birthdate so we created one for him. He came to our center approximately five years ago from another government orphanage. He was lost from his parents so we have no family information on him. Joao is developmentally delayed, he can talk but has difficulty understanding or communicating difficult concepts. He functions at a much lower age rate. He is one of the most loving children in the entire center, quick to give a hug and a thumbs up and to share what he has with everyone else. He loves ALL food and says he wants to be president when he grows up

About Me

My Photo
Laura Anderson
Maputo, Mozambique
A few excerpts from my life's To-Do list: 1. Find a dead body. 2. Return a lost pet to it's owner. 3. Spend a year of my life working at an orphanage. Well, it's been over six years now and I'm loving living one of my dreams, living and working with 30 boys, ages 4-9, in a childrens center in Maputo, Mozambique! I'm far from my home in the US but love my life here with my boys. (And two out of three of those goals ain't bad!)
