Biography
Caleb is a very friendly and hardworking young man. He is currently in 11th grade at a small school called Silanga Secondary. Caleb’s Dad passed away when he was young leaving his single mother to take care of her three children on her own. As the oldest, Caleb has done his best to help her shoulder the daily responsibilities of feeding, clothing and educating them. While he qualified for a better quality school, Bartaka’s family was not able to afford it but he was determined to do his best and today he is breaking records where he is. We have been helping him as the Lord allows but know we will need additional support as he finishes high school and heads to college. We believe with his character and work ethic, Baraka can become an agent of positive change in his generation.
