Rudy was born on January 10, 2004. In May of 2007, when Rudy was just a small boy, his mother passed away while giving birth to his younger brother. Later, in December of 2010, Rudy’s father died of illness.
After the death of his father, Rudy and his brother were sent to live with an uncle. Their uncle is a poor peasant man with little education and he could barely afford to provide the basic life necessities for the boys.
In March of 2012, we welcomed Rudy to Living Hope. Upon arrival, he appeared to be healthy and was studying in the third grade. He very much liked reading and listening to stories, and yet today you are likely to find him curled up in some corner with a book in hand!
Rudy respects his teachers and works very hard. He gets along well with the other children and is becoming more independent. He shows great interest in learning English.
In 2015, Rudy was chosen to come to the United States with our Angels Tour. We are very proud of the progress he has made and look forward to watching him grow and develop.
He is now in high school and studied very hard.

In September of 2003, when Sarah was only two-and-a-half years old, her father was beaten to death. Shortly after this tragedy, Sarah’s mother abandoned her to remarry, and Sarah was sent to live with a poor aunt and uncle who were farmers. They worked hard to obtain the basic necessities of life and struggled greatly with the addition of Sarah.
In November of 2009, Sarah was welcomed home to Angel Training School. Upon arrival, she was very skinny and malnourished. She was in the third grade and ranked below average. Sarah often missed her family and would get teary-eyed when talking about her past. In a matter of months, however, we saw huge advances in Sarah. She began doing well in school and felt happy in her new home, always smiling and making friends easily. She not only caught up quickly, but she began to excel! Sarah enjoys singing, drawing, and playing basketball. She is friendly and always willing to lend a hand. In the summer of 2010, while with the Living Hope Angels Tour in the United States, Sarah had the opportunity to be baptized! Sarah is our most mischievous among the girls and she loves to play innocent pranks on others. While she does have this silly streak, she is quite responsible, has a strong sense of what is just and right, and she does not like for people to be wasteful.
She is now a freshman in a very good university, and we are so proud of her and looking forward to her beautiful future.

When Sherry was a child, she had parents who loved her. Although the family is not rich, they were together. Unfortunately, a tragedy happened and Sherry's mother committed suicide in 2019 by lying on train tracks due to mental illness. Sherry's father bears the great grief of losing his wife in his middle age and has to take care of Sherry and her younger brother alone. Because the two children are still young, Sherry's father cannot go out to work to earn a higher salary. He can only get a very low income by repairing battery bicycles in their small village. He
cannot provide the children with normal daily needs. School supplies were even more difficult. Their lives are extremely hard.

Silas and his older sister lived a happy life until both of their parents were killed in a car accident on January 5, 2012. The children were sent to live with a disabled uncle who had no source of income. They were only there for a short time before being brought into our care.
On March 14, 2012, Silas and Liz were both happily welcomed to our Training Center. Silas respects his teachers and house parents and loves helping others with chores and errands. He is an incredibly cute boy who loves to smile! He has really opened his heart since coming here and now enjoys talking and playing with others and following his new brothers and sisters around.

Summer was 3 years old when her father committed suicide. Shortly after this tragedy, her mother abandoned her and ran away to marry another man. Summer was taken to live with her grandmother. Grandmother tried to care for her, but she struggled to provide daily food and together they lived a difficult and very impoverished life. Summer doesn’t have many memories of her parents. She shared with us that sometimes she dreams of her mother and father, but that they are very sad scenes and she doesn’t like to share these dreams with anyone. We welcomed Summer to Living Hope in April of 2010. She began doing very well in school, and
although she enjoyed going regularly, she said that her favorite part of the day was coming “home.” Summer likes to sing and dance and was a part of our Living Hope Angels Tour in the past. She’s a delightful and happy young lady who is always ready to lend a helping hand. She has always
been very attentive to her younger brothers and sisters, “mothering” them and constantly watching over them.
Summer is beautiful inside and out with a fun personality and a loving heart! She is now in college and we are looking forward to her beautiful future.
