GenderMale
CountryKenya

Douglas is firstborn in a family of four children.  He was born deaf and had been attending Mumias government school for the deaf up to class 3 when he was thrown out due to lack of school fees. His father and mother separated and now he lives with his father and stepmother. His biological mother, who had been working hard to find a school that could accept him, was very happy that he was admitted to Humble Hearts and Angel Cottage.

After graduating from HH, Douglas wanted to attend trade school to study engineering.  It was tough because his father was not supportive and wanted him to study construction.  But, he worked really hard, was often at the top of his class, and has now graduated and is working full-time.
