Eight year old John Mark is a very quiet young boy that takes great pride in his school work. He is currently in grade one and has 1st honors. His favorite subject is English.
In his home he is responsible for all the cooking, cleaning and laundry because he is the oldest of three children.
John Mark is a precious child with a sweet but unhealthy smile. He seems to be consicous of this and holds back when his picture is being snapped. John Mark's home is in one of the worst dumpsite areas. Both of his parents are scavengers in the dumpsite and earn about $2-6/day. His parents are grateful for the opportunity to have John Mark at Wesley so that he will be in a safe environment and be able to continue his education.
This past week John Mark's 4 year old brother was in the "sludge river" just behind their dumpsite home and drowned. Please pray for the family of John Mark and for the safety of the children still needing to be rescued from the dumpsite.
