John is first in his class.

Gifted in mathematics, he wants to be a doctor one day. A few years ago, he lost his mother to heart disease. His father is still alive and lives in Kigali, but he is unable to care for his three sons. John’s younger brother Eddie (6) also lives at Gisimba Memorial Center, but his other brother lives elsewhere.
