My Name is
John
John
Both of John’s parents died in 2003 and John was placed in the care of his grandmother. However, when she struggled to provide for him and send him to school, she asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. John arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. He is a good student and is serious about his schoolwork. John is a natural leader both at school and at home. His favorite part of each day is learning theology and he diligently wakes early to read his Bible. John hopes to open a children’s center in the future so that he can help others. He prays that he will continue to grow into a godly man who walks in God’s ways each day.
