Awumbe
Awumbe
Awumbe’s mother died during a riot and his father died soon after her. Awumbe and his siblings Atimbil and Azuma then lived with an uncle for a time. The uncle had five other children, and he struggled to provide for all their needs. He asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Awumbe and his siblings arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2010. Awumbe soon developed into a happy and funny little boy who has a special ability to brighten everyone’s day with his huge smile. "Today Is The Day The Lord Has Made" is Awumbe's favorite song.
