My Name is
Barakael
Barakael
Barakael's mother died when he was one year old, and his father is unknown. Barakael's grandfather then cared for him and his brother, Frederick. Due to poor health, the boys' grandfather was no longer able to work and care for them. The Rafiki Foundation was contacted, and the boys arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. As Barakael listens to God's guidance, he continues to grow closer with the Lord. Barakael's favorite part of school is physical education, and he is a good soccer and basketball player. Baraka is grateful to be in the Rafiki School and to have the opportunity to study and know more about God.
