    Description of Now I Am Known: How a Street Kid Turned Foster Dad Found Acceptance and True Worth

    In this powerful, redemptive true story, a young man living on the edge of survival is transformed into a healing presence in the lives of all he touches.

    At age ten, Peter Mutabazi ran away from home. For five years he survived on the streets of Kampala, Uganda, a city of 1.5 million, until one man saw potential in him. This man not only supported Peter through school but forever altered Peter’s outlook in every possible way.

    Since then, Peter’s turnaround story has been remarkable. He served as a relief coordinator during the Rwandan genocide, worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross during the Sudan conflict, emigrated to the United States, fostered countless children, and became a single adoptive parent. He speaks seven languages and has traveled to more than one hundred countries as an international advocate for vulnerable children.

    Now I Am Known, Peter reveals the transformational power of taking risks, learning to forgive, overcoming self-doubt, breaking negative patterns, and believing in a better future marked by optimism and purpose.

    Immerse yourself in this inspiring story of hope.
