The boy was brought to Kasisi by the police just three days after his birth. He was a healthy, well-developing newborn with a high birth weight. When he arrived at his new home, he carried the name Messiah, probably indicating the great hopes and expectations his biological parents had for him. However, the Sisters at Kasisi collectively felt that such a name might be a burden for the child to bear in the future. Therefore, they decided to gently alter his identity before the baby became accustomed to his original name. They chose to give him a new name, Izajah, updating his birth records.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
