After being abandoned by his mother as a small child, Ivan was brought to the Nsambya Babies' home for a time. Ivan then came to the Rafiki Village Uganda in May 2004. He now enjoys learning many things at Rafiki. Ivan’s favorite subjects are fine art, Bible class, and physical education. He also enjoys studying logic and likes to reason, especially using Scriptures to do so. He expresses himself by drawing pictures and is a great artist. Ivan hopes to pursue a career in technology.
