Hello, my name is Alvin Dennis. I am 7 years old. I was born in the Liberian Refugee Camp in Ghana, Africa where my mother went as a refugee while running from the civil war in Liberia. While she was in Ghana, her entire family was killed, including her mother, father, and only brother, Matthew. My father was also a refugee in Ghana and he died at the refugee camp before I was born.
My mother took care of me and carry me everywhere with her. I was like her toy. My mother returned home to Liberia in 2007 and she started recovering from drinking alcohol and started coming to church.
On December 22, 2009 in the morning my mother started vomiting and when they took her to the hospital, she died from malaria. Because I don't have anyone to care from me, I was brought to the Lifesong Master's Home of Champions where I am going to school and playing now with my new friends.”

He cries everyday while his friends are playing and all of them will stop and gather around him to comfort him. It been so hard for him. I preached his mother's funeral 6 weeks ago."
