Meet Eli

Eli was abandoned by his mother straight after birth at the midwife's house. The midwife herself, with the help of another person, cared for Eli for three days, and then reported the situation to the police. Eli was taken to the local hospital for a medical check up and to be cared for whilst investigations took place to find his mother. The children's officer recommended that he join the Open Arms Village.

At the Open Arms Village with sponsorship support, he can receive the love, care and protection he needs to thrive. He is also able to study at the Open Arms Academy and receive a quality education.

Eli is a confident and friendly boy. He loves playing football with other children of his age, and gets along well with them. He enjoys talking to others and loves to be close to his guardians. He is learning good behaviours. Eli enjoys being in school. He has a positive attitude towards his learning and his interest in books is growing. He loves reading and likes to participate in story telling and singing. He has the ability to ask questions whenever he needs clarity on something. He can work independently at school and at home and always does his homework without any supervision. His creativity is so impressive and he always finds a way to solve any problems that come up between himself and other children.
