Clifford
Clifford
Clifford and his brother, Namukolo, were living with their parents in the Kanakantappa Village when their mother died in 2010. The father abandoned them and then died soon after. The boys lived with their aunt for a time. However, her husband did not accept them, and they were being neglected. Clifford and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in October 2013. Clifford is a wonderful football (American soccer) player, and he also enjoys playing basketball with his friends. On the weekends, he helps around the Village. He believes that Jesus is the Son of God who came to forgive his sins and die for him. He knows the Bible is the Word of God. Clifford continues to pray for wisdom, protection, obedience, and love.
