My Name is
Takula
Takula
Takula’s mother died in 2005 of a fatal illness, and his father died two years later. He then lived with an impoverished aunt who earned a small, seasonal income from knitting and embroidery work. Though she tried, she could not provide for Takula's basic needs. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2008 and soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. Takula is most interested in art and language arts, and he enjoys doing the work for those two subjects. He strives to be holy because God is holy. Takula has learned invaluable lessons from the Rafiki Bible Study, and he appreciates that nothing can separate him from the love of God.
