My Name is
Henry
Henry
Henry's mother died while giving birth to him, and his father died soon after his mother. Henry was cared for by his elderly grandmother for a time, but she had no income to care for him and sought help. Henry arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2011 and soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Henry finds comfort in knowing that Christ is with him wherever he goes. He strives to please the Lord by doing what is right. He continues to grow in his knowledge of God and enjoys praying and singing hymns.
