Each week we introduce you to the children of Hope Centre Burundi. We upload a picture of one child and give you their story.
Jean Barengayabo
Jean's StoryJean is 15 years old.
Although Jean is 15 he is only in grade 6 at school.
In February 2000 Jean's father died of HIV/AIDS and then, the same year, after many months in the hospital, his mother also died of HIV/AIDS.
Thankfully Jean is HIV Negative.
Two years later Pastor Leonard got to know about Jean's situation as he was living near his church. He was upset to see the kind of life that Jean had and agreed to introduce him into his family although this was financially difficult for him at the time.
Currently he is living with some friends in Buyenzi but Pastor Leonard is continuing to provide for him.
