My Name is
Alexander
Alexander
After his parents died, Alexander was placed in the care of a man in his village. Though he tried, this man could not properly care for Alex. He asked the Rafiki Foundation to take over Alexander's care. Alexander arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2009. In the Rafiki Village, Alexander has learned about becoming a godly young man from his Rafiki mother and father. He likes 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5 because it speaks about having confidence in the Lord because of His faithfulness.
