Leon

Leon, 8. Although Leon can't hear, he has no trouble understanding the world. What I adore most about Leon is his expressiveness. His face registers his mood, and right now he couldn't be happier. I'd say the same thing for me.

 

Leon lives at Gisimba Memorial Center, an orphanage on the outskirts of Nyamirambo in Kigali, Rwanda.
