My Name is
Alex

Alex
Both of Alex's parents died of terminal illnesses between 2003 and 2004. He was then referred by Social Welfare to begin living in the Rafiki Village Uganda and was welcomed to his new home in 2006. Alex now dreams of becoming a lawyer or an oil engineer in the future. He believes that his favorite subjects will prepare him for his future career, namely geography, history, English, chemistry, biology, and physics. Alex seeks to trust God and not lean on his own understanding.
