My Name is
Patrick
Patrick
After Patrick’s mother and father died, he went to live with his uncle for a time. His uncle had the responsibility of taking care of eleven children. He struggled to take care of their basic needs, could not send all the children to school, and sought help. Patrick was referred to Rafiki and arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2010. Patrick writes his own plays and song lyrics, and he enjoys singing hymns. Patrick believes Jesus is his Savior and God, and he strives to glorify God.
