My Name is
William
William
William was brought to a hospital with head injuries in August 2003. He was treated and he recovered, but the police were unable to locate his parents or any relatives. William was admitted to a babies' home shortly thereafter. After a medical exam to determine that there were no permanent problems caused by the head injury, he arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in April 2004. William’s favorite school subject is Bible “because I want to learn how to teach people God’s Word.” William also enjoys playing the trumpet and teaching it to younger residents at the Village. William has a developed a personal relationship with Christ, and he desires to live in a manner that pleases God. William seeks to discern what God would have him do with his future.
