My Name is
Ben
Ben
Before arriving at the Rafiki village, Ben and his five siblings lived with their grandmother, along with her six children, in a one-room house. Ben eventually ran away and was found by the police and taken to a children's home. Ben arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2014. On his first night at the Village, his new brothers made his bed and left a stuffed animal on his pillow to welcome him. Now, Ben shows interest in every academic subject, but he especially enjoys studying the human body in science. He does well in music, spelling, and sports. Ben continues to pray that he will know God more and will grow in wisdom and knowledge.
