“Stephen” by Sherry Berger

Stephen Wante, whom people lovingly call “Uncle Stephen,” is the founder/ parent/ director of El Shadai Family Foster Home. Stephen, an orphan himself, despite all odds and with some help from very caring people, was able get an education. When Stephen graduated from college, he realized that the best way he could thank those who helped him— was by helping others who shared a similar struggle. With this determination, he took on the responsibility to care and educate for street children and orphans whose parents had been victim of AIDS and faced rejection by the society.
