Meet Archer!
Archer, born October 2002, is a charismatic boy, who is not shy when WACAP staff saw him on a recent trip. He seemed to enjoy having an audience, and performed some cartwheels and breakdance moves! Caregivers report he loves all sports, but especially basketball.
Archer is deaf and does not speak. He attends a boarding school for the deaf Monday through Friday and has learned simple sign language. With orphanage caregivers he uses gestures and body language to communicate. They say he cannot read lips, but he was very skilled at sensing what our staff was asking him to do and responding appropriately.

When not at school, Archer lives in a foster family unit in an apartment at the orphanage. A married couple cares for 5-6 children of various ages. His foster mother reports he is a big help with the other children, and voluntarily helps her with cleaning and chores. He is also a carrier of a blood condition, though it is not active. Archer is a happy boy with a great laugh, who would surely blossom in a family of his own.

Archer's file is currently with WACAP. They have lots of photos and even video of this handsome guy! There is a $4000 Promise Child grant available through WACAP for qualified families. If you feel he may be the missing piece in your family, email me or contact WACAP directly at kids@wacap.org.
Feel free to share this blog...you never know who may see this! It may be his mama! I am praying that Archer's forever family finds him soon.
