On Jan. 7, Makhi led teacher Mrs. James and classmates, who repeated after him, saying, "Father God, we thank you for this food. We ask you to bless it, make it nourishment to our body. Bless all the boys and girls all over the world to receive food. In Jesus' name."
His mom said she was "shocked" to hear how clearly he recited the prayer when she was there for his birthday celebration.
