My Name is
Benon

Benon
Benon was born to a fifteen-year-old mother who died in child birth, and his elderly grandfather was unable to care for him after his death. He was then taken to an orphanage in Kampala, Uganda before arriving at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2006. Benon enjoys being active with his friends and playing sports. His best subject is math. Benon desires to please God before pleasing man. He says he has come to know Christ through reading his Bible and the regular Bible teaching he receives at the Village and in school. Benon strives to serve God all the days of his life.
