Born in 2009, Ke Yuan has been in care since March, 2015. He also suffers from aural atresia and is unable to hear. Children's Hope says he's a thoughtful boy who helps take care of the younger children. "Although he is shy when meeting strangers, he will be willing to talk once he gets familiar with them. Now, taking the initiative to learn to speak more words, Yuan has made huge progress."
