My Name is
Aaron
Aaron
Aaron lived with his grandmother before he arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia. His grandmother, a peasant farmer, struggled to provide food for herself and Aaron. She was overjoyed when she learned that Aaron was approved to join Rafiki in 2013. Aaron believes Jesus is the Son of God who came to save us from our sins. He knows the Bible is the Word of God and it is all about Jesus Christ. Aaron often asks God to give him more wisdom at school and thanks Him for giving him Jesus Christ as his Savior. God has answered Aaron's prayers for improvement in school. In his free time, Aaron enjoys playing baseball, volleyball, and and basketball with his friends.
