Frank
Frank's mother is deceased, and his father is in prison. After his father was imprisoned, Frank was left in the care of an elderly widowed neighbor. She contacted social services, and they contacted Rafiki on Frank's behalf. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2006. He was in poor health when he arrived, but he has benefited from the healthy environment at the village. Frank now enjoys history and social studies. He excels in his language arts and literature classes. Frank says that he knows God is a God of beauty, and he sees it all around him in Rafiki Village Uganda. Frank continues to pray for a bright future and a strong relationship with Christ.
