The people that brought him to Banklang were Australians and the husband and son were two of Yo's best men in our wedding.  Yo lived at the children's home most of his life and went on to work at the childrens life until late 2014. As you know, Yo and I met when we went on a missions trip to his orphanage in 2013. We took him to Australia January-April of this year and were m
