My Name is
Richman
Richman
Both of Richman’s (Fiifi) parents were deaf, mute, and mentally challenged. Since his parents were unable to care for him, Fiifi and his brother, Ato, stayed with a grandmother or other distant relatives who eventually found that they were unable to provide for the children's basic needs. Fiifi and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2002. Now, Fiifi knows that God is changing him. The fruit of the spirit he seeks to display is peace; he rests knowing that God is protecting him. Fiifi continues to pray for good health, success in his studies, and gratitude for God's many blessings.
