Silvestor's Prayers
Dear God,
Today, I hold this book close to my heart. It’s more than paper and ink—it’s hope.
Every day is a struggle. My stomach often aches with hunger, and my feet hurt from walking miles to school. But this book… it’s a ticket to a better future.
Thank you for the kind souls who made this possible. For the orange shirts on my friends’ backs, for the knowledge filling our minds.
I don’t have much, but I have gratitude. For every meal, every lesson, every smile.
Please watch over us, God. Help us learn, grow, and one day give back.
With a thankful heart,
Okou Silvestor
