My Name is
Wilson

Wilson
Both Wilson’s mother and father died when he was a small child. Wilson and his sister Alice were then referred to the Rafiki Village Uganda in September 2005. Upon arrival, Wilson said in his native tongue, “I think I’m going to like this place!” Now, Wilson is an avid reader, but he also loves to play basketball with his friends in his free time. He enjoys studying many different subjects, especially math and science. He hopes to become a neurologist so that he can help heal people and point them to Jesus. Wilson believes Jesus is his personal Savior and Redeemer, and he wants to serve Him in all areas of his life. He also desires to strengthen and deepen his relationship with God
