My Name is
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel's mother died shortly after he was born, and his father had died before her. An aunt and uncle cared for Emmanuel until he was old enough to join his twin brothers, Boniface and Leonard, at the Rafiki Village Zambia. It was a joyous day when Emmanuel arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in March of 2013. His twin brothers greeted him with hugs and laughter. Emmanuel enjoys studying science. He excels in penmanship and art, paying great attention to detail. He is often a very helpful young man around the Village, seeking to serve others without grumbling. He also enjoys playing baseball and reading. Emmanuel wants to honor God in everything he does.
