Vida Odel (23)
Vida has a sweet warm personality and is a tremendous help to Agnes. She looks after the younger girls and does much of the cooking. Neither of her parents are living and, as is the case with all of her children, Agnes has therefore provided Vida with a secure safe home and hope for the future.

Eric has quite a story of “redemption”. He is a Ghanaian who was born in neighboring Cote D’Ivoire. He was separated from his father by war and at a young age was put into forced labor in a fishing camp, with no pay. He experienced unbelievable abuse until rescued by a relative, returned to Ghana, and put into Agnes’ care. He is a strong mature help to Agnes and the younger boys, and loves to cook.

She is a good student and loves to sing.

Saviour Attey (10)
In North America, we would label Saviour as a “work in progress”. He is bright, mischievous, fun, and outgoing, and is a good athlete, He comes from a tough background, being abandoned by his father after his teenage mother passed away. He struggles in school, disappears for a few days from time to time, and doesn’t always get around to doing his assigned chores. We’re praying for him!

Stella Addor (9)
Even at a young age, Stella possesses the same warmth and sweetness as her older sister, Patience. She loves to sing, is good with the younger girls, and does quite well in school. She would be out of school and doing hard manual labour on a rural farm had her mom, Rejoice, not brought her into Agnes’ care.

Deborah Appiah (7)
Deborah is the cousin of Juliet and was taken out of the same abusive home, and put into Agnes’ care. She loves school and is an enthusiastic singer – she can often be heard above Agnes’ other children when singing during the evening devotions. She has a smile and charm that will melt any heart.
