Description
Shy to the point of being almost tongue tied, Abdul Raheem gave me very little information about himself, other than what I had already learnt about his background from his older Brother and the Mother of the Home.
One thing I thought was that as he got used to his surroundings, he will loosen up increasingly.
In between smiling at me instead of answering my queries, and pursing his lips in concentration, I learnt that he really liked to play Badminton and that he likes the Home thus far.
He shared with me his ambition to become a Doctor when he grew up, and I left with a mental note to try and meet him in a few months to observe his progress.
[ I did hear that he’d had some minor disagreements with the other boys in his initial days, but nothing that had escalated into anything unsavory. ]
