Gilbert’s life has been marked by adversity from a young age. Orphaned by his mother and with an unknown father, he found refuge with his grandfather, a soldier stationed in a remote camp. Unfortunately, a seemingly trivial incident led to his expulsion from his grandfather’s home, forcing him onto the harsh streets. 

Gilbert’s survival instincts kicked in as he navigated the challenges of street life. He spent nights in bistros and lounges, begging for sustenance. Thankfully, the Children of Grace intervened, rescuing him from the perils of the streets and offering him a chance at a brighter future. 

Despite his difficult upbringing, Gilbert possesses a gentle and caring nature. He often takes on a protective role towards the younger children at the orphanage, exhibiting a maturity beyond his years. His innate talent for woodworking is a source of solace and pride. With his hands, he transforms raw materials into functional and beautiful pieces, dreaming of one day owning his own workshop,
