My Name is
Paul
Paul
Both of Paul's parents died when he was four years old, and he was then placed in the care of his impoverished grandmother. Though she tried, she could not provide for his basic needs. After a referral from social welfare services, Paul arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2006. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Now, Paul's favorite subjects are geography, literature, English, history, and entrepreneurship. He is grateful to the Lord for His kindness. He knows that he is a child of God and that nothing can separate him from God's love.
