My Name is
Alex
Alex
Alex was living with his widowed mother who was dying from a fatal illness. He and his mother were barely surviving on the food grown in their small garden. Alex's situation was brought before social welfare services, and they then referred him to Rafiki. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2006. Alex is now a hard-working student. He understands that Jesus died for his sins, and he trusts that Jesus has kept him alive.
