Alex
Alex
Alex was living with his widowed mother who was dying from a fatal illness. He and his mother were barely surviving on food grown in their small garden. This case was reported to Social Welfare by the Village headman. Social Welfare and the child’s mother felt it was best for Alex to be referred to Rafiki. He is now working hard in school.
