Stanley is a little orphan boy in Kenya. He was found among a troop of baboons, they said. He was about 2 at the time, and had few human social skills. In this photo Stanley is about six and seems pretty much a normal and sweet little boy. I don't know if the story they told me at the orphanage is true or not, but I do know Stanley is real and there are so very many others like him in Kenya and other places.

The words of Jesus haunt me, as I present them here: "When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required." (Luke 12:48, NLT)

    What a precious little boy. Children should be loved and cared for and never ever suffer at the hands of others. Children are too beautiful for this world. I hope Stanley finds a wonderful home, but I fear like so many he won't. May God bless them and send loving families to them.
