My Name is
James
James
James was orphaned after his mother was involved in a fatal road accident in April 2005. His father is unknown. This left James under the care of his elderly grandparents. Though they tried, they could not care fro James's basic needs. James arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2009. He is a diligent young man who always aims at excelling not only in academic work but also in his conduct. He always works hard, and maintaining his grade-level achievements is important to him. He is self-disciplined, cooperative, and honest. From the Rafiki Bible Study, he has learned to be thankful in every circumstance.
