She is so perfect. What a beautiful name and a beautiful story. I love it when a name has real meaning and substance and not just a word the parents like. And the joy on your face, Saint John, says it all. God bless everyone!!

John St Julien Baba Wanyama
A few months ago, I received a call from a brilliant young man called Modest. I met Modest 10 years ago now, and within 15 minutes of meeting him, we were in my car looking for a group of 12 street boys he was trying to help by showing them how to make jewellery to sell for tourists. The day before, I'd just opened a home for street involved children, as I'd met two in the local town.
It was surely God that had us meet that day, as we ended up raising those 12 boys, and a few are still around ne, working at the ngo, the others all successful in business or employment.
Modest grew up on the streets from age 9, so he and I had a big journey. Many rehab programs, many a story to go with that.
However, we persevered, and after opening our own rehab centre, Faith addiction recovery centre, Modest won the fight the streets had pushed him into.
The call said, "Baba, my baby will be born soon, and I want you to know I'll name him John. My heart was so full, and I accepted this beautiful and frequent cultural honour iv has bestowed upon me.
The very next day, another call, this one made me laugh. "Baba, my baby is a girl, and I really don't want to call her John.." 😅 "will you please name my daughter..." ... and so meet little Hope.
It's the only word I have when I look at all Modest has accomplished for himself and others. Especially the boys from the street.
I'm now Babu (Grandfather) again, and I couldn't be more grateful.
I love you. Hope you will be safe and loved herd, with your beautiful parents and our beautiful big family, I I can guarantee you that much.
In love and gratitude, everyone 🤍
