Luck shines upon him when the orphanage's connections with international adoption agencies come into play. At six months old, he embarks on a journey across continents, for a new home & loving family in Singapore.
Life takes another turn several years later, when his family settles in the heart of Sydney and adds Australia to his list of homes. The boy who once faced an uncertain future has now grown into a force of nature and embraced his identity as a proud Ethiopian.
