My Name is
Agrippa
Agrippa
Agrippa’s mother died while giving birth to him, and his father died before her. Agrippa then went to live with his elderly grandmother for a time. Though she tried, she could not provide for Agrippa's basic needs. After being approved by social welfare services, he arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2008. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at Rafiki. Agrippa also proved to be an enthusiastic learner who loves learning and does very well in grammar. Agrippa gives God thanks for the gift of life and protection and for allowing him to progress in school. He prays to grow in his understanding of God's holiness and majesty.
