Description
My Name is David. The director and founder of the Children's Centre. I am passionate about the needy and vulnerable children and those born with disabilities.
I was raised up by needy and poor parents. At some point they failed to support my education and I struggled through life. My sister a tailor,picked me on and other good samaritans came in later to help. This back ground pushes me and motivates me to help others .
