About Kalebe
Kalebe's left elbow was broken from a fall 3 months ago and healed crooked without treatment. He needs surgery to correct the elbow and allow his arm to bend normally once again.
Kalebe lives with his parents who do government work and his one sister. He is in grade KG2, which is like a second year of kindergarten. When he is not at school he loves to play with his friends. His favorite thing to play is soccer.
Kalebe is an extremely sweet and polite young boy. He has a funny little sense of humor that is pretty apparent from his photos. Please support Kalebe while he receives and recovers from a surgery that will fix his arm.
