South Asia Waiting Child: 8-Year-Old, “Miles”

“Miles” is a handsome 8-year-old boy who is being treated for HIV. He also has a repaired cleft lip and burn scars on his body and face from an accident that occurred prior to being admitted to the orphanage. Due to the burn, his right arm is deformed.

Though Miles has gone through so much in such a short amount of time, he is doing incredibly well! He is enrolled in school and his intelligence is normal. He is able to read and write and loves to sing and dance! He participates well in different school activities.

The staff speaks very highly of Miles in his paperwork. His attitude towards other children is described as good and friendly. He likes to play with his friends. Towards staff and other adults, he is described as being friendly and polite. Overall, he is well-behaved, has a positive level of activity and is happy and content.

Please pray that God would provide a family for Miles! Miles is a shared referral.
