Hello!

Hello!
My name is Autumn Buzzell and I live and work in Ghana, West Africa with City of Refuge Ministries. Here, I run our school, Faith Roots International Academy, and get to be a part in rescuing and the healing of children who have been trafficked into the fishing trade, orphaned, abandoned, and those who just need a little extra loving. What an amazing gift this life is!

Happy Birthday Malvin

Today, Malvin is 4.

In all his 4 year old glory...
 
 
 
Bike riding...
 
Bossy big boy...
 
Loves to run and hug...
 
Sometimes does run-by butt-punches...
 
Laughs about just about everything...
 
Cries about just about everything too...
 
Can tell all kinds of stories in his halting, stuttering Malvin way...
 
Loves big squeezes and kisses...
 
Old soul in a little body...
 
My big-boy 4 year old!
 
So different than when I first came.
 
Underdeveloped.  Malnourished.  Scared of this big obruni.  Last to walk.  Last to talk.  Last of our 4 year olds to go to school.
 
It took me eight months to win his affections.  It took only days to win mine!
 
He sure has grown.
 
Love...it certainly is powerful stuff.
