My Name is
Kofi Sefa
Kofi Sefa
Kofi’s mother suffered from psychological issues, and she was deemed mentally unfit to care for him by social welfare services. Social welfare took custody of Kofi in order to get his mother help. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2002. He soon proved to be a helpful young man with leadership qualities. Kofi loves to read. A warm smile is often showing on his face. He has learned through the Rafiki Bible Study that he is to willingly serve and obey God. Kofi continues to pray that he will grow in his faith, be serious about his studies, be a good example to others, and live a life that is pleasing to God.
