The travails of Francis did not end there however and he still learned with a lantern at Taifa because they had no electricity at home.

He still visits and donates to the orphanage home that adopted him and he sometimes invite vulnerable kids to his home and serve them food .
May God grant him the strength to continue his good works. The world would have been a better place if everyone was like you. Stay blessed Francis.
