Raymond is not your typical urban kid surrounded by the glitz and glamour of city life. He's never being in houses with reflective shiny surfaces adorned with polished woods and exquisite furniture. Hell he may never ever be! The closest to civilization he has come across, is quite sadly, a doctor's office and probably, a sickbed in the ward. He is from a village far off from the rural clinic where Arthur and Esther Bradley stands out as the only piece of modern building densely surrounded by mud houses with rusted roofs.

Leaving a legacy is an important part of any life. A legacy reflects a life lived with purpose.

What does it mean to leave a legacy? It means putting a stamp on the future, and making a contribution to future generations. People want to leave a legacy because they want to feel that their life mattered.
