Peter Mutabazi, a former Ugandan street child, recounts his transformative encounter with Jacques Masiko, who rescued him from poverty and abuse. Masiko's simple act of asking Mutabazi's name sparked a connection, leading to education, a stable family life, and eventually a career as a prominent foster dad in the US. Mutabazi has fostered 47 children and adopted three, embodying the kindness he received. Masiko, a humanitarian aid worker, credits his faith and belief in Mutabazi's potential for his actions. His selfless efforts were recently repaid when former beneficiaries helped fund his cancer treatment, highlighting the powerful impact of human connection and generosity.
