My Name is
Clint
Clint
Clint was found abandoned at the edge of Thogoto Forest in Dagoretti. He was presumed to be a day old and was taken to a police station. The police took him to Kenyatta National Hospital, and they contacted social welfare. He was then admitted to a baby’s home in May 2005. Because no one came forward to care for him, social welfare services referred him to Rafiki. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2007 and immediately began to settle in well. Clint has many interests and independently seeks additional information about his school interests. His best subjects are math and language arts, and he loves reading. He regularly volunteers for classroom activities and enhances group discussion through his insightful comments. Through the Rafiki Bible study, Clint has learned that he should not repay evil for evil but seek to do good.
