ivan's STORY:

Ivan's father died in a tragic car accident when he was just two years old. His mother suffered from mental health issues and was unable to care for him. Community members stepped in to care for Ivan but when he reached the age of four he was abandoned. Ivan lived on the streets of Lira for two years before being rescued by Saving Grace and taken to the children's village. 

Ivan loves school and his favorite subjects are math and English. Ivan has great English skills and can often be found practicing those through conversations and translations. Ivan is known for being hard working, kind and very honest. He enjoys soccer and puzzles. When Ivan grows up he wants to be an engineer.
