Roger Ekene is an 8 year old boy from Uganda. His parents passed away due to AIDS when he was very young and he has been living on the streets ever since. He is malnourished, but has no diseases. Roger is tall with dark skin and short, dark hair. He is very sweet and loving, but many specialists fear that there is a possibility that when he moves to a location where food and healthcare are readily available, he may go into a state of shock. His live prior to adoption was extremely difficult, so he will need a lot of love and care.
