My Name is
Teeweh
Teeweh
Teeweh and his older sister Adele arrived at the Rafiki Village in 2012 after their mother died and their father gave them up. Teewah hopes to be a soccer player when he grows up, and he likes to practice drawing famous soccer players after school in his free time. His favorite subject is science. Teewah's favorite hymn is "Take My Life and Let It Be" because it reminds him that his life is meant for God.
