Both Peter's parents abandoned him when he was a young child. He and his younger sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in February 2008. He enjoys reading and playing basketball in his free time. He also regularly works in the Rafiki garden. His favorite subject is science. He has learned from his science class that God created everything with precision and care. Peter wants to love others like Jesus does.
