My Name is
Emmanuel

Emmanuel
Emmanuel (Kobi) arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2009. He soon proved to be a quiet, pensive, and insightful student with a quick and fun sense of humor. His favorite subject is French. Kobi is an example for other children in the Village, and his years of Bible study have given him an excellent spiritual foundation. He sees God's faithfulness in his life, and he knows that God has cared for him and brought him to Rafiki to learn and grow. Kobi has graduated from the Rafiki school and is being supported by Rafiki while he studies IT at university.
