Meet Silas

Silas and his siblings were rescued from the streets after their grandmother passed away and their mother could not take care of them anymore. They were taken to a temporary rescue shelter but life was tough for them. Their mother was not in the best of health, and this affected all her children. Silas has had difficulty meeting developmental milestones and developing motor skills. Though his condition has improved significantly he still occasionally has severe epileptic attacks. He receives medication for his epilepsy. Silas has progressed and performs very well at school. 

Silas likes taking care of the animals and often helps to care for the chickens at the village. He likes to make tents out of branches, banana leaves and grass. He shows great compassion towards others and loves his siblings. He needs close supervision at times when doing the house chores. Silas loves singing and can be heard singing by himself most of the time. He can be cheeky, especially when he is with his peers.
