My Name is
Barakael
Barakael
Barakael's mother died when he was one year old, and his father is unknown. His grandfather then cared for him and his brother. Due to poor health, the boys' grandfather was no longer able to work and care for them properly. Social welfare contacted the Rafiki Foundation and the boys arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. Barakael studies diligently in school and searches for ways to improve his knowledge and understanding. He loves interacting with people and hopes to become a safari tour guide after he graduates. Barakael enjoys prayer as a regular part of his life. He strives to honor those in authority over him and prays that he will grow in faithfulness.
