My Name is
Adam
Adam
Adam was living with people in the city cemetery. (These may have been his parents.) He was left in the care of a thirteen year old girl. The neighbors were concerned that the child was not being cared for and notified police. The police brought Adam to a children’s home. After a number of months, all attempts at tracing any family have been unsuccessful. Social workers and the Ministry of Health recommend placement with the Rafiki Foundation. Adam really enjoys learning about grammar. He also likes to read books and draw his own illustrations. He's also an amazing artist.
