Overview
Biography
Boston is a very friendly and hardworking young man. While he grew up with both of his parents, neither have an education and they have not been able to get steady work so they look for odd jobs in the community every day. It has been a struggle for the family of five to keep food on the table much less pay school fees, especially since they consented to adopt Boston’s young cousin when her mother died. Boston finished high school and was welcomed as part of the ROMI Torch Bearers’ program because he was always around - especially when there was work to be done and we believe with a friend to walk with him and help him gain a basic skill, Boston can bring positive change in his family and community.
