My Name is
Caleb
Caleb
Caleb’s parents died when he was four years old, and his relatives were unable to care for him because they are impoverished and relied on subsistence farming. Caleb was referred by social welfare to the Rafiki Village Nigeria and arrived in May 2006. Caleb enjoys school and excels in computer science and technical drawing. He would like to go into large-scale farming with big equipment someday. Caleb understands the importance of spending time with God. He is overwhelmed by God's goodness and power, and he wants to give God his best.
