My Name is
Salvio
Salvio
Salvio's mother died shortly after giving birth to him. His neighbors tried to help but had six children of their own and were unable to adequately care for him, so they sought help. Salvio arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007. Salvio is an honor roll student, and his favorite subjects are math and English. Salvio believes Jesus is the one true living God. He knows God has given him a new heart. From his study of the Bible, Salvio has learned no one can be saved by his own works, but by his faith in Jesus Christ. He has also learned the Holy Spirit within him is the One producing the fruit of the Spirit in his life. He holds a leadership position in the classroom, and he takes this role very seriously.
