My Name is
James
James
James’s father died HIV+, and his mother also had HIV. She contacted social services so that James and his sister, Sandra, could have a future and a hope for their lives. Social services referred the brother and sister to the Rafiki Village Uganda, and they arrived in April 2017. James' favorite subjects are art, music, and science. He is intrigued that his brain controls his other body parts and that his heart is the home of the Holy Spirit. James thanks God for keeping him alive and for dying on the cross for his sins. He prays for perseverance in his studies and a strong relationship with Christ.
